Gerald Bourguet: The NBA’s L2M report deems that it was a correct no-call on De’Aaron Fox for Devin Booker’s last-second heave where he stepped on Fox’s foot: “Fox (SAS) is legally moving along Booker's (PHX) path when Booker clips the back of his foot”.


Victor Wembanyama buried a go-ahead 17-foot fadeaway over Oso Ighodaro with 1.1 seconds left to lift San Antonio to a 101-100 triumph over the Phoenix Suns. The shot marked Wembanyama's first go-ahead make in the final five seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime in his career, after missing on five previous attempts, according to ESPN Research. "We know it's not going to be an open shot most of the time," Wembanyama said. "In this situation, you want to wait. If you take a shot too early, whether you make or miss it, you're shooting yourself in the foot because the defense would probably get the rebound and have time or inbound and have time. So, you want to shoot it as close to one or two seconds [remaining]. This way, we have a chance to get an offensive rebound if we miss and if we make [it], they don't have time."

Duane Rankin: UPDATED: Suns coach Jordan Ott said he doesn't think Grayson Allen's left knee injury is "anything long-term." Will miss 2nd straight game tonight at Spurs with what Suns are listing as left knee soreness. "He's got to feel right. He plays at such a high level. We love what he does for our team." Haywood Highsmith (right knee injury management) and Royce O'Neale (left knee soreness) also OUT tonight. On Highsmith, who was added to the injury report after shootaround: "It's something that just popped up. Same thing. We're always going to be mindful that he did miss a significant portion of the season. Again, it's something we want him to feel right to go out there and perform. He plays so hard. Again, it's something he's missed time with. We're going to be cautious." On O'Neale, who will miss his first game of the season: "Some swelling in there. Nothing serious. Again, it's just something that just popped up. When you get this deep into the season, as many minutes as he's logged. He had a little ankle the other night in the game, but it isn't the ankle. Again, nothing serious, we hope, but just unable to go tonight." #Suns

Vince Carter: I remember you saying ‘Oh, man. At 50 something… man, he just need to play three quarters and sit down.’ I'm over there like: ‘Nah, man, you need to see if you can get it.’ All of a sudden, it's just like the light came on with him… Give him the ball… We turned into real fans. Did you see maybe Devin Booker 71 or Luka’s 73…Now 80. I was a fan, man. It was just fun to watch and I know a lot of people had some things to say about it.” Tracy McGrady: “The thing is, teammates have just been giving [BAM] the ball and let the player go and have a historic night... That is what we do in this league.”

?Suns After Dark?: Devin Booker after tonight: "We have the best job in the world. You gotta embrace this, embrace adversity. That's what it's all about. So you train all summer, you wait all year for these moments right here. So win, lose or draw, I'm 100% committed to the grind. And we all are."

Jon Krawczynski: MIN 116, PHX 104. Wolves grind out a really good win against a good team to go up by 3 games on the 7-seed. Randle: 32p, 7r Hyland: 22p, 5a Gobert: 19r Dosunmu: 19p, 5r McDaniels: 16p, 7r, 4a SloMo: 7p, 6a, 5r

Duane Rankin: "Everyone knows coming down the stretch there are so many twists and turns for everybody, you can't really predict. No matter what happens here tonight, both teams are alive and well." Chris Finch as Suns are just two games behind T-Wolves for 6th in West. Has tiebreaker. #Suns
