The way the Suns responded after that ATROCIOUS 2nd quarter has absolutely changed the way I view them. Much-needed win against a very good team.

I truly wish the Suns found a way to make it work with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. They absolutely botched the roster construction around them, and it's a shame.
Kevin Durant when asked about being back in Phoenix: "It's a normal, regular game. I played here for 2 1/2 years bro. It's not that deep. I loved living in Phoenix. I miss it everyday to be honest with you. It's my favorite place to live in the league. But outside of that, I've got no problems with anybody here."

The Suns need to stop falling into iso ball and hero ball and go back to what got them this lead in the first place. (evergreen)

I’ll bite at this delusion. “Hall of Fame” level talents make it work. They don’t need to be spoon-fed a perfect situation to succeed. Jalen has been asked to be someone he’s not. It’s true. But he’s also been below average at the things he’s supposed to be good at.
Forcing Jalen Green to be Chris Paul is obviously good for his development but being stuck in that role forever would suck for his true Hall of Fame ceiling.

Suns got killed on the glass (by 15!) and shot 11 less free throws, yet still won by double digits. Winning the turnover battle (25-14) and shooting 50% from three compared to Orlando’s 34% outweighed those first two stats and then some.
The Suns finally snapped their four-game losing streak. Was it the defensive intensity? Jordan Ott’s adjustments? Khaman Maluach starting? Booker’s headband? Whatever worked, Phoenix looked more engaged. The numbers were impressive. Now comes the hard part. Doing it again.

A 23-point first half from Devin Booker in what was the Suns’ best overall half of the season. Much needed. Now do it again for another 24 minutes!

Did we take Mark Williams for granted? With Mark Williams: 34–26 (.567 win percentage) *Without Mark Williams: 11–15 (.423 win percentage) 1-5 so far this season. *including playoffs

If Deni is allowed to constantly seek out contact, all I ask is that the Suns are granted that same leeway from the officials offensively.
