Great corner crash from McDaniels on the KAT three.

Good ole Spain action from the Suns. McDaniels gives no bump on the backscreen so Nurkic gets an easy one.

This is awesome from McDaniels, Booker gets him on his back and explodes to the rime. McDaniels keeps coming for the block, Gobert hustles to save the ball and the Wolves get a transition three out of it.

It is going to be fascinating to see how the Wolves deal with this match up. KD really might eat KAT up.

And it'll be the same thing on the other end, KAT draws the double and finds Rudy for the dunk

Just really good patience from Beal coming off the screen. He slows up to keep McDaniels behind him combined with Nurkic Gortat.

Nurkic at the elbow is a good creator for the Suns, good screening action between Allen and Beal, Beal rolls hard with the defense playing the high side of him.

There is not more you can ask for Rudy to do up against Booker here, that's just a big time move.

this is OUTSTANDING DEFENSE from McDaniels.

Eubanks makes a great block on Edwards but the shake he puts on KD before that is kind of nuts!

KAT dropping dimes from the top but the Suns' defense is making a lot of mistakes. The first clip they don't switch, the second clip Booker chasing over the top but you got to go under when the action is this high.

NAW has been a difference maker in this game so far. He alone has doubled the Suns' bench numbers.

Ant is so good. Splits the defense with a crossover then goes by Booker with a Euro

Edwards' pull up is so nasty, the touch off the glass on the last one was gorgeous!

Now he hits Booker with his pivot game! ANT!!!!

Edwards has given it to every Suns player out there. He is playing the best payer on the floor tonight.

I got nothing! Edwards is just on another level right now

Now the Suns are trying to get the ball out of his hands with hard hedges, works this time but Reid does get a clean look at a three.

Now Eubanks does show hard enough here and Ant is able to beat him to the spot before KD can recover.

This has been the Edwards takeover.

Now doubling Ant before he gets a screen but what I don't really like is after he gives up the ball they don't deny him, he gets it back then hits NAW for a three.

Great job from the Cavs zoning up the weak side and pushing in transition. Best way to attack the Magic is before the defense gets set.

Paolo's playmaking is so good, I love the cut from Isaac but the defense from the Cavs did a great job collapsing on him

Okay, so Mobley knocking down these threes is a real thing then that changes a whole lot of things for Cavs spacing wise.

Great cut from Brown as Russ gets into the lane, nice pass too. Schroder sets the flare screen, the Knicks switch it and Brunson is not aware Brown is cutting versus standing in the corner.

Crunch time has not been kind to either team this season. These next few minutes could be really entertaining.

This was a hell of a pass from Grimes.

The Cavs defense is just crushing the Heat. Miami already has five turnovers.

The Cavs just run get actions, a get action between Rubio and Mitchell with a flare screen. Heat cover it well with Bam switching onto Mitchell and Butler ready to switch out Herro but Donovan still gets a pretty clean look at a midranger

Bam needs to square up Garland, his stance is giving Garland a lane to just straight attack.

This is just a great one hand pass on the move from PG to Kawhi in the corner off of the offensive rebound. Bogdanovic gets caught out of position because of it.

Great defense here from Batum pulling to get the steal off Mitchell's pass to Gobert. Not sure if it is by design but George going towards the corner after the Rudy roll and Batum coming over is really interesting.

This is a case of being in position defensively but not actually being there. PG comes off the pin down and Mitchell is there but doesn't make his presence felt.

Hawks off to a good start in getting three-point looks, Young drives and finds Collins, get a corner one off of floppy action for Huerter, then Bogdanovic hits one in transition. 1-4 in the first 3:30 is a good start, now just need to make them.

The Sixers have missed some open layups but their half court offense has been all Embiid settling.

Great cut from Korkmaz with Simmons in early offense.

Good play to start the game from the Nuggets, getting Jokic a touch off the move and force Ayton to have to navigate a ton of traffic to catch up to him.

The Nuggets do a good job on the first screen with Jokic showing and Gordon recovering but then concede the switch to put Booker vs Porter, that is not the match up Denver should be willing to live with.
