“Ball security and pace. The same problems we’ve been having every 4th quarter.” Devin Booker
#Suns 7 turnovers in 4th, Bradley Beal 3 in loss at Orlando.
“(#Magic) just reverted to being extra physical and hoping they can’t call every call.”

Just gonna put this out here now before the jokes start: Yes, the ball needs to move more. But blaming another Suns loss on another Devin Booker 40-ball (on 65% shooting!) just tells me you either didn’t watch the game, have an agenda, don’t know ball, or all of the above – 8:34 PM

Suns are a +2 in Devin Booker’s 34 minutes and a -12 in the 10 minutes he sat. Those minutes to start 2Qs and 4Qs continue to be disorganized, and it’s usually what fuels these awful 4th quarters – 8:22 PM

Zion returned but it didn’t matter. Pelicans fall 141-117 to Bucks. Milwaukee went into cruise control in 2nd half & Nola still failed to make any comeback bid.
Quartet of Giannis, Dame, Lopez & Portis scored 100 points on 35-of-56 shooting (62.5%). They never felt resistance. – 10:26 PM

Pelicans trail the Bucks 36-32 at the end of the 1st quarter.
Positives: Brandon Ingram’s off to fast start (11 PTS) and Zion Williamson (7 PTS) looks good. He stopped Giannis from driving into the lane, had putback all in same motion and had a nice and-1 to towards end of 1st. – 8:39 PM

Giannis normally goes to the bench for Portis midway through 1st, but he waved off the sub and has responded with a couple dunks since then. That last one Nance thought he had a charge lined up until Giannis dropped the shoulder, swiveled his hips and sidestepped for the hammer. – 8:29 PM

The Pelicans start 5-7 from the field; the Bucks, 1-6. New Orleans grabs the early 11-5 lead.
Having Zion Williamson back in the lineup, the rhythm is quickly evident. Pels have done a nice job of crowding Giannis on all but one drive too. – 8:19 PM

Khris Middleton will NOT play in his second back-to-back of the season: He is OUT tonight vs. the Pelicans. Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable again with back spasms for the #Bucks
Middleton’s only back-to-back was IND-San Antonio and he played 15 min. of the first half v Spurs – 2:48 PM

So, if my research is correct. Most points in an NBA game by foreign-born players:
Luka Doncic- 73
Joel Embiid- 70
Giannis Antetokounmpo- 64
Kyrie Irving- 60
Luka Doncic- 60
There’s so much more to say about the global reach and impact of the game but thought this was cool too. – 1:05 PM

Devin Booker has 60, a Pacers record for an opponent at home. Previous record belonged to George Gervin (55, in 1980).
His career-high is 70 (vs Boston in 2017).
Pacers gave up 64 to Giannis, a Bucks franchise record, last month. – 9:17 PM

For Antetokounmpo, part of the confidence in Rivers comes from his extensive resume — the 24 years Rivers has spent on NBA sidelines. “We know that he’s played in tough games,” Antetokounmpo continued. “We know that he’s played in two NBA Finals. Like, he’s been there before. We’ve been there one time. We want to go there again. And, sometimes, having people with experience next to you, it helps you. “When it’s tough, when you face challenges, when things don’t go your way, having somebody that can be like, “Hey, I’ve been here before. This is what we’re going to do. This how we’re going to attack it. This is how we gotta stay together. Don’t worry about the expectation. We’ve gotta do this as a team.’ Somebody that can give you that guide, that lead, it’s always great to have him in your locker room. So, I’m excited that he understands that we’re trying to win a championship. I think everybody in this locker room understands that.” -via The Athletic / January 28, 2024
