Seeing a lot of 3-guard looks with Booker and Allen at what you’d call a small forward.
That means the forward and center either better get it in on the boards or the guards are going to have to come down and help.
Probably mix of both, Suns winning rebound battle today, 23-17 – 4:09 PM

Eric Gordon being aggressive off the bounce will be really helpful for the Suns’ bench unit. Phoenix has struggled with rim pressure the last few years but EG is still strong enough to force his way into the paint – 4:08 PM

Found Bates-Diop on backdoor cut baseline, pass mishandled a bit.
The ten guys who have played so far in 1st half.

Some slippage on both ends here as the Pistons cut it down to 12. Big 3 are all on the bench, which is almost never going to happen, so something to keep in mind through stretches like this in the preseason. – 4:01 PM

Cade is starting find a rhythm. He’s up to 10 points.
Pistons have closed the gap because of defense. Some forced turnovers and tough shots by Thompson and Stewart have been big. Burks getting on the floor for loose balls.

Beal was coming down in transition and Booker was near him and then just flared out to give him room.
Thought they passed up shots to move ball.
Durant had Eubanks on pass inside, but a little hot and Eubanks wasn’t ready for it. Had he caught it, turned, layup or dunk. #Suns – 3:47 PM

Okogie to rim after push in transition.
Timeout #Pistons. 14-2.
Thought Okogie could’ve went basket in transition to Booker, who kicked it to Durant, who found Beal as the ball got back around to Okogie, who got to basket.

Early theme of the half-court offense is whatever guard isn’t on the ball is the one running off it to trigger the start of the possession.
You can already see the length clogging up Pistons driving lanes.

Offense is coming off side actions so far.
Nurkic screening.
Then when it gets deep in the clock, Booker, Beal and Durant has ball.
Durant 3 as shot clock expires.
