LOCKED ON SUNS 11/4/18: Devin Booker and Mikal Bridges lead comeback victory over Grizzlies Nov 04, 2018

Show notes

Live from Talking Stick Resort Arena, we give our immediate reactions to the Suns' thrilling comeback over the Grizzlies, 102-100.

Not only did Devin Booker score 14 points in the fourth quarter, but Mikal Bridges stepped up and became the Suns' star guard's much-needed partner chipping in 9 of his own. Should Bridges be inserted this early into the starting lineup?

Deandre Ayton had a quiet game, but he was great almost everywhere else, including solid defense on Marc Gasol.

We discuss all of this, and much more, in our usual recap format. This time, we finally are able to discuss a win.

LOCKED ON SUNS 11/2/18: Suns keep it competitive against Raptors in loss Nov 02, 2018

Show notes

Even though Devin Booker returned to the Suns' starting lineup, it wasn't enough as the 7th straight loss is now on the board. Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Lowry led Toronto in the second half as they put their foot on the gas.

Deandre Ayton had a productive night posting 17 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks on 7-10 FGA. Should the Suns' No. 1 pick become more of a focal point in the offense?

We also ran through Igor Kokoskov's rotation changes as the schedule now gets even tougher over their November stretch.
