“The story that he has, his career that he’s been through has inspired basketball players around the world.”
Kevin Durant said he’s known Isaiah Thomas since he was 17 years old, and he’s been the same worker since then. KD believes that work ethic will rub off on the Suns: pic.twitter.com/OT0NYARUYW – 1:22 AM

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

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
