End of the third quarter: Suns lead the Nets 91-82. Blake Griffin just hit a 3…and then got a T. Tough shooting night from Harden and Kyrie. – 11:51 PM

Suns get into a groove so quick. They lead 88-76 with 2:25 left in the third. Edwards has held his own on Booker, but sometimes there’s nothing you can do. Just six Nets have played more than 12 minutes tonight. Tight rotation from Nash. – 11:45 PM

Just like that, the Nets find themselves down 88-76. This game turned when JaVale McGee grabbed James Harden’s floater out of the sky. Every Nets player argued for a no-call, while the Suns continued to play and scored a basket. – 11:44 PM

From @BKN_NETSPR: Patty Mills’ third 3-pointer of the game was his 161st of the season, matching his single-season career-high, done last season (in 68 games).

A great take by Paul to close out the 1st half. Blew right by Edwards and Griffin to beat the buzzer. Same issue for Nets — the defense has been rough. They’ve already given up 65 points. A recurring theme throughout this lose streak. – 11:11 PM

Halftime: Suns lead the Nets 65-58. Chris Paul just went coast-to-coast to beat the buzzer for a layup. He’s got nine points, 10 dimes. Nets have stayed within striking distance but haven’t narrowed really threatened. Need a guy not named Kyrie or Harden to get hot. – 11:11 PM

Chris Paul just embarrassed the Nets defense, letting the ball roll up the floor before blowing by defenders like cones on the way to a buzzer-beating layup. The Suns lead, 65-58, and have a stacked roster. This is going to be a tough one for Brooklyn. – 11:10 PM

The Suns are 19-3 in clutch games this year with a 44.7 net rating in the clutch. It certainly helps that Devin Booker has 74% TS and Chris Paul 68% TS in those situations. – 4:57 PM

Trae Young leads the league in clutch usage rate at 48.9%. Though that was probably pretty high, historically, but then there was Russ the year that KD left.
