Kellan Olson @KellanOlsonOof Payton gambles on a pass to give Huerter space and then catches the ball out of bounds. Those are the types of plays that really hurt when you have a limited impact. Gotta be clean if it’s a low usage role. – 8:13 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankinHuerter for 3. #Suns down 8. – 8:12 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinardKevin Huerter lost his dribble for a TO, then came right back with some good defense (PHX scored anyway, better offense) and two threes in a :30-second span. – 8:10 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlsonWilliams does not go with The Stagger tonight and his reserves made it work with some good defense. Huerter hits a tough 3 tho and then get another one off the bounce the next time down. Williams takes a timeout. – 8:10 PM

More on this storyline
With the emergence of Simons and the selling off of veterans like Powell and Covington, rival executives around the league believe the Trail Blazers will move CJ McCollum by the trade deadline or this offseason as Portland continues to reshape its roster around franchise star Damian Lillard. Several teams, including the New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks, and others, are expected to have interest in trading for McCollum, who is owed $69.13 million over the next two seasons. -via HoopsHype / February 5, 2022 The Pelicans are on the lookout for a “big-name guard” according to Windhorst, who named CJ McCollum, De’Aaron Fox and Eric Gordon as trade targets. “They look like they’re going to be buyers but we don’t know what’s happening with Zion,” he added. “The Pelicans have been really aggressive trying to add a guard.” -via FOXSports.com / February 4, 2022 According to sources close to the Pelicans, the team is heading into the deadline as a buyer focusing on the 2022-23 campaign. Zion Williamson, who has yet to play this year with a foot injury, is eligible for an extension this offseason. The team apparently views McCollum as the potentially ideal veteran scorer and leader to play alongside Brandon Ingram and Williamson. -via Bleacher Report / February 1, 2022
