Phoenix will start with Torrey Craig once again with the big four back-to-back starts for Torrey
opens up the scoring. I think that Monty Parker he as a coach could have done differently and
those are the ones all coaches take that stuff to heart. Bucket goes fast to the rim. And we've seen
it in the Golden State Sacramento series a lot as we get another turnover Leonard with the great
securing those defensive rebounds have been a challenge for Phoenix it was late in the game
Leonard fires the three sticks of three even out there on the perimeter line
best thing about Tai Lu as a coach at least in terms as a game coach in my opinion
is he's furious and he's already played two guys tonight who didn't play the other night
a little tougher when you don't know what your goal is. Westbrook hits the three
having a big second quarter those numbers are second quarter numbers and out Durant off the
window silky smooth from Kevin Durant having a big second quarter those numbers are second quarter
numbers and out Durant off the window silky smooth from Kevin Durant that's what they need more of
they got him on the move DeAndre Aydin set a great pin down for him he got space from Westbrook
and was able to go to work Westbrook goes right by Booker and lays it in with a foul
with great contributions well their bench was great all four guys off the bench were at least
plus 11 on the floor and he buries a three very unselfish team oh my goodness Kawhi Leonard
like he is playing a higher league than the NBA running over people if they are going to
continue to pay Kawhi Leonard so much one-on-one he's going to do the same thing he did the other
night her answers and now Gordon gives it to Leonard out as well eight seconds left Craig
pushes it Booker is there four to go two and a half Booker for three
Troy Craig picks up his second foul
his second Booker's got it now with Gordon on him now the switch up and over Zubac and a three
when the subs come in for Phoenix and who will those subs be for Monte Williams because this
right here is rolling and Durant keeps it going back to a 10-point son's lead Durant
to give him 20 Booker got man on his back Booker drills one that is Kawhi Leonard that guy can't
beat you by himself Booker hits another one he hasn't been allowed to dominate in this third
call back on the floor finds Booker sets up for three
double team comes he finds Highland Highland misses a three Westbrook with the offensive
board and put back and one their offensive rebounding has been stellar in the first two
games of the series as Booker gets to his spot no problem rest of the sons just wearing out
suffered a humongous blow the league announced that Draymond Green will be suspended for game
Clippers made a couple of runs but the sons had answers
Booker had a monster third quarter 18 now he fires and he's got another one
Kawhi Leonard on Durant quick release on the turnaround he's got it
that's his first field goal coach since midway through the third quarter
gonna eat for free Leonard for three oh that's what he does
