“I would guard against the totality of 4th quarter numbers.”
Frank Vogel on Suns 4th quarter issues as they’ve been outscored 1036-905 in the 4th.
They are last in #NBA in ppg. in 4th at 24.5.

On Reddish, Darvin Ham said, “In all likelihood he should be out there” tonight vs. PHX.
On Rui: “Another really good day for him. He looked really, really good out there (with the stay-ready group).”
Sounds like no Hachimura tonight, but Ham is hopeful for Saturday. – 8:25 PM

LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo remain leaders in All-Star fan voting. However, Trae Young moved past Damian Lillard as a starting guard in the East.

Anthony Puccio @APOOCH
And I totally understand that everyone has moved past KD and Kyrie. But guess what? Brooklyn’s entire identity WAS Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. They put all their stock into those guys and it failed.
These are simply the repercussions – limbo. – 6:03 PM
