Another loss tonight for OKC. Wolves have a very tough two-game road trip starting tonight in PHX, but the chance is there to get a little separation – 10:00 PM

OKC falls for 3rd straight game, their first such stretch this season. It’s April 5th and they didn’t have their top two guys that’s what it took for this skid. Impressive stuff. Minnesota and Boston are the only teams to not go on a 3 game slide yet. – 9:24 PM

Cool little note here in Phoenix. The schedule and NC State’s Final 4 run allowed alum T.J. Warren to hang out a bit at the team hotel last night. Warren is also going to stay for Saturday’s Wolfpack game, then fly to LA after that in advance of Sunday’s game against the Lakers. – 9:24 PM

Chris Finch was asked what if anything he sees Anthony Edwards has taken from Kevin Durant’s game (Ant’s favorite player growing up).
Finch, deadpan: “A lot more midrange shots.”
(Then talked about shot creation, getting to spots and natural scoring ability). – 8:40 PM

Frank Vogel called it “very unlikely” we’ll see much of Royce O’Neale in the starting lineup if Grayson Allen is healthy, since Allen “has been our starter” all season.
Vogel did say come playoff time “everything is on the table.” – 8:26 PM

Frank Vogel didn’t want to take too much from the win over the Timberwolves back in November because he said it was one of those nights Minnesota was sleepwalking a bit like teams can occasionally. Did mention the way they attacked Gobert and Conley/Edwards in ball screens. – 8:21 PM

Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) game time decision, Frank Vogel said.
Vogel said Nurkic could benefit from taking time off, but Nurkic wants to play.
Grayson Allen (hip) available. #Suns – 8:19 PM

Kings need to handle their own business tonight, but could use the help from other teams.
Warriors & Mavs play each other.
Pelicans play the Spurs.
Suns play the Timberwolves. – 7:51 PM

“Me, K and Book talk about our approach, leadership, body language impact the rest of the team. It took me being here to realize that. In DC, I was like fuck that, everybody has got to be ready.

“I love hooping with Bol.”
Bradley Beal told Bol he needed him to do 2 things once Bol got into #Suns rotation.
Rebound. Score.
“That’s it.”
Chemistry growing between the two as Beal finds Bol, particularly on corner 3s.
“My job is to put them in better positions to score.” pic.twitter.com/P6Rb6u5n0W – 5:47 PM

Also interested to Gobert on Nurkic tonight.
We often see Gobert not on the other teams 5, and instead on a non-shooter wing so he can be used for help side rim protection.
But Phoenix is kinda of like Sacramento, in that they have shooters out there 1-4 most of the time, so… pic.twitter.com/LKZwF4wtGe – 4:02 PM
