Halftime: Suns 60, Sixers 47. Suns overcame a poor shooting start to go 10-of-20 from deep, out-rebound the Sixers 34-18 and total 13 second-chance points. Cam Payne leading the Sixers with 12 points against his former team. Oubre with 10 points. Maxey is 2-of-10 from the floor. – 11:05 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Suns are now a blistering 10-of-19 from three-point range. And many of those have been oooooopen. – 10:58 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
On last Suns possession, Allen had a look at rim off drive, but wasn’t even looking to shoot it.
Kicked to corner.
I understand what he does, shoot 3s. He’s 4-of-7 from deep tonight for 13 points, but he only has one attempt inside 3-point line. #Suns up 58-43 late in 1st. – 10:58 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Sixers are playing off shooters and the Suns’ ball movement picked up in the 2nd quarter to make them pay. Now up 15 with 10 made 3s. – 10:58 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Devin Booker already on triple-double watch with 8 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds in the first half. Is tonight the (regular season) night? – 10:57 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Bol Bol with 8 off the bench (2-of-3 from 3). Suns up 50-38. Timeout Philadelphia with 3:43 left in half.
Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale 10 each.
O’Neale going 4-of-5 from 3 in 4th of loss at Milwaukee carrying over to tonight’s game.
2-of-3 from 3 vs. 76ers. #Suns#76erspic.twitter.com/ShvsrLvPX2 – 10:54 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Cam Payne has been terrific off the bench. He’s up to 12 points off the bench, but a tough start for Tyrese Maxey who’s shooting 2/9. Maxey’s getting a lot of good looks, but hasn’t been able to convert. Suns getting hot and lead it now 50-38. #Sixers – 10:52 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Ball has been moving better this quarter despite some sloppy turnovers, and the 3s are starting to drop. Suns up 50-38 after back-to-back triples and the Sixers need a timeout – 10:52 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Looked like Kevin Durant banged knees with someone on that last turnover. He walked it off afterward and will stay in the game after the timeout – 10:47 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
I get the idea that Buddy Hield is going to get a lot of open looks playing next to Embiid, but, man, he’s missed a *lot* of open 3s lately.
Also wonder if they’re going to have to get him to just shoot off catch rather than taking one dribble and side-stepping on Embiid passes. – 10:46 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Durant needed nine points to pass Shaquille O’Neal forth 8th on #NBA all-time scoring list.
Has 6. So he’s a 3 away from passing O’Neal. – 10:41 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 23, Suns 21 at the end of the first. Suns shot 9-of-31 from the floor with seven turnovers, but had a 21-9 rebounding edge and 11 second-chance points. Oubre with 7 points on 3-of-5 shooting against his former team. Maxey has four points on 2-of-7 shooting. – 10:36 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Maxey pocket pass to Reed against the hedge, Reed lob to KJ Martin on the short roll, beautiful – 10:34 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Would love to hear from any Suns fans followers of mine… scale of 1-10, how you guys feeling about your playoff chances? – 10:34 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
See, that play right there, Beal got to the rim and kicked it to Eubanks for what I’m sure he’s thinking is a clear baseline path to the rim for dunk.
Instead Eubanks, with defender in front, doesn’t look to dunk, dribbles, loses ball.
Payne gets applause on check in. #Suns – 10:33 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
So the rotation looks like Gordon, O’Neale and Eubanks check in during the 1st with Booker playing the whole first, Beal first out and then back in later in the first and Durant sitting late in the first.
Then Bol will check in to start the 2nd I believe.
Thoughts? #Suns – 10:30 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
The Suns average 10.3 offensive rebounds per game this season; 19th in the NBA.
They have 11 offensive rebounds on 17 misses less than 9 minutes into the game.
All the good work they’re doing in their defensive rotations is being completely erased by the O glass issues. – 10:29 PM
Brian Seltzer @brianseltzer
Might need to start hooping just so I can justify getting myself a pair of those Book 1 Mowabbs 🔥 🔥🔥 – 10:29 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Kyle Lowry is super animated in the Sixers’ huddle during this timeout. Nick Nurse reiterated that he’s been more “ornery” lately as he gains comfort with his new team. Sixers are down 14-13 late in the first. – 10:27 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
As off as the Suns have looked, they’re up one, 14-13, with 3:17 left in the 1st. Timeout Philadelphia.
Shooting 25% from the field (1-of-6 from 3).
76ers are at 35.3%, 0-for-4 from 3.
Difference? Shot attempts.
Phoenix 24. Philadelphia 17. #Suns#76ers – 10:27 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
The Suns have 12 (!) offensive rebounds in less than nine minutes. The 11 second-chance points have them in this still despite a rough start. – 10:26 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
The Suns have 21 rebounds in this 1st Q already. 12 of them have been on the offensive end. Philadelphia has 7 rebounds total. That has to change as the game goes on. Suns lead 14-13 leading to a Nick Nurse timeout. #Sixers – 10:26 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Suns are 3-of-14 to start this one and have four turnovers, but also have a 12-4 rebounding edge and seven second-chance points. Why the Sixers’ lead is only 11-8 about midway through the first. – 10:20 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Sixers’ defensive activity has been very good so far but the Suns also currently have 7 offensive rebounds on 11 missed shots – 10:20 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Suns only down 3 despite starting 3-for-14 with 4 turnovers. Really ugly start not reflected on the scoreboard yet. Offensive flow just feels off so far – 10:20 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Durant with the contested two.
For a team with three dynamic scorers, they take more tough shots than they should. #Suns down 11-8 after Booker basket. – 10:19 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Now they got a open shot out of Booker on that ball movement, but Nurkic is right at the rim passing it out.
That’s could easily be an inside attempt that could lead to a foul/free throws, bucket or bucket/foul/plus FT. #Suns down 6-1 early as Oubre Jr scores. – 10:14 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
The Heat and the Pacers pick up wins on the road tonight. If Philadelphia falls in Phoenix, then it drops back to the No. 8 seed in the East. #Sixers – 9:31 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Frank Vogel reiterated Isaiah Thomas is with Suns for depth, saying when the team is healthy, Thomas won’t be in rotation.
Said Josh Okogie (abdominal) is close to returning, hopes to have him back for start of road trip this weekend. #Sunspic.twitter.com/DHHXeFEApT – 8:22 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Frank Vogel said Josh Okogie is “getting closer” and the Suns are hoping to have him back this weekend – 8:20 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Frank Vogel said Isaiah Thomas won’t be in the Suns’ rotation when the team is healthy but is a trusted veteran to have in place in case an injury or foul trouble comes up – 8:18 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Frank Vogel said the plan is not for Isaiah Thomas to play. He’s here for depth, so as long as the Suns are fully healthy, he likely won’t be in the rotation – 8:17 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
For tomorrow’s game at Phoenix:
Wesley Matthews (illness) is questionable.
Jalen Johnson (right ankle injury) is out.
Bey, Bufkin, Griffin, Gueye, Trae out. – 8:01 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Nearly 10 years after he was traded away, Isaiah Thomas is back in Phoenix. Here’s a look at his journey back to the NBA and realistic expectations for what he can provide for the Suns: bit.ly/3PtYPsa – 5:51 PM
