Took care of business. The best part about tonight was humbling them with bully ball especially early. Little payback for last time around.

Hopefully DLO thing was just precautionary/load managing…otherwise he’s costing himself quite a few $$$.

Yup, we're half a game behind the Flippers for 6th.

also 1 game behind GSW for 5th..

we probably need to win all our remaining games to move up to 6th though

Darvin Ham on the decision to hold Russell out for the second half with the left foot issue: “It was definitely precautionary. He could have continued if we needed him. Didn’t want to risk it.”

Solid win by the team.

Things looked questionable after team went up 19 and were only up by 6 in third. They then locked in, and dominated, holding Rockets to just 49 in second half.

They really really need to get better at stopping teams offensive boards. 16 more tonight by Rockets. Some of that is just effort.

Other than that...somehow, someway, team now controls its destiny for the 6th spot. Since they own the tiebreaker (I believe) with the Pelicans, as long as Lakers win out they will be the sixth seed. Now, I'll be very surprised if they do win out, but with that said, pleased they at least got to this point.

4 game regular season now. Gotta take care of business.

The Suns are scary when KD is healthy.
