To their credit, Bridges, Oubre and Crawford did enough to keep the Suns in the game tonight.ĭavis Bertans had the first Spurs turnover with 5:16 left in the second quarter. Bridges/Oubre/ Crawford/Terry/ Daniels.Īlthough that lineup is partly a byproduct of injuries, it is still an indictment of another season gone awry. The Suns started the second quarter with a lineup of Mikal Bridges, Kelly Oubre, Jamal Crawford, Emanuel Terry and Troy Daniels. LaMarcus Aldridge dropped a dozen in the first period to lead the Spurs. The score was knotted at 33, though, thanks to five turnovers for the Suns compared to zero for the Spurs. The Suns were hot as a team, shooting 62% (13-21) and making five three pointers in the opening quarter. The Suns might have lost tonight, but at least they don’t have anything to be embarrassed about.ĭevin Booker kept the Suns from limping to another slow start, which has been a regular occurrence all season, by scoring 14 first quarter points. Despite losing in heart-breaking fashion on a Rudy Gay jumper as the shot clock expired to give the Spurs the 126-124 win, the Suns acquitted themselves admirably. The Spurs handed the Suns their league-worst 42nd loss of the season, but it definitely wasn’t one of their worst losses this season. The Suns, playing without three starters, put forth one of their best efforts of the season. The Suns shot a season-high 60% from the field. Mikal Bridges had 17 points, making this the first time in his rookie season scoring 16 points or more in consecutive games, to go along with six rebounds, three assists and four steals while also playing the best defense on the team. Jamal Crawford had a season-high 22 points.
