Game-winner when you’re 1-11 from 3 is a choice. Guess it doesn’t apply to KD

TheVision_13 | Suns

37 | 2 days ago

Same as books yesterday lol he didn’t hit a 3 all game until the last one, some players just built different

kingofnick | Suns

12 | 2 days ago

Statistically Book was the worst 3pt shooter on the court for the Suns last night when he hit that shot.

DeAndre_ROY_Ayton | Suns

1 | a day ago

Wasn’t Book only 0/3 at the time tho?

incredibleamadeuscho | Lakers

11 | 2 days ago

Shooters shoot. It’s based on how hard they practice, not about what their total is in the game. If I missed the first ten, I’m due to hit next one.

sloBrodanChillosevic | Supersonics

6 | 2 days ago

Shooters shoot. As Bean would say, rather go 0/30 than go 0/9.

SloshaPacana

5 | 2 days ago

Idk if the stats back it up but i feel like i’d rather have a cold shooter from three than someone who’s hot i think they always overthink it

This is just great analysis

dankq | Rockets

2 | 2 days ago

What if that shooter with a hot hand was Steph Curry?

Fr thought we were cooked when they went up in the 4th, KD really bailed us out with that clutch shot

sanjit8103 | Nuggets

KEVIN DURANT IS SO FUCKING COLD

Just_A_Glitch | Suns

35 | 2 days ago

Beaten by a KD three very reminiscent of our OKC win and an Okogie stop?

Jesus, the gods of irony are pissed we beat OKC.

1gnominious | Rockets

The gods smote OKC even harder tonight.

Exotic_Pension_9993 | Suns

Transitive property you’re losing on a buzzer beater 3 from a guy who’s missed 16 consecutive 3s in your next game sorry buddy

seclusionx | HOU

So…~~scoot henderson~~ avdija.

EggsInMyToolbox | Suns

4 | 2 days ago

I can’t tell if that final book shot would have counted?

It looked like he was able to miraculously stay in bounds and get that off based on the refs motion

Nelsonmuntz2020

7 | 2 days ago

It wouldn’t. The clock didn’t start when okogie caught it. Click should’ve went off by the time book wrestled it away

Holy_cow2024

2 | 2 days ago

That’s what I thought as well. But was there any time left? Rockets stream did not show the game clock.

Gollem265 | Rockets

Imagine if booker made that last shot. Pretty insane effort to even get it off

abboud97

2 | 2 days ago

Idt it wouldve counted + it was a two

shangalang69 | Raptors

6 | 2 days ago

on the replay, the ref looked at booker’s foot on the line, then signals a 3 point shot lol

Gollem265 | Rockets

5 | 2 days ago

I feel like they didn’t start the clock on time, but can they overturn that?

According_One811 | Suns

13 | 2 days ago

Really awful play to end the game

Sheranes_Father | Rockets

D Book called off the help and then airmailed it. I know that one has to sting ggs

According_One811 | Suns

Ill take it caught a dub in a very tough back to back and were still competitive the next game. Ggs

Exotic_Pension_9993 | Suns

3 | 2 days ago

Went in to it expecting a loss given the game last night and travel this morning. Could feel that they were gassed in the 2nd half with all of those bricks but they showed just enough fight to where the loss pissed me off lol good game

myhellcatgotRepod | Hawks

14 | 2 days ago

A KD game winner into an Okogie defensive stop is cruel irony vs the Suns

Slow-Raccoon-9832

3 | 2 days ago

Meh booker got the shot off

sorendiz | HOU

2 | 2 days ago

Clock started a bit late tbh i dont think he would have been able to get it off on time if the clock started when okogie first touched it

Akipella | Warriors

12 | 2 days ago

KD was ¹⁄₁₁ from 3 and then hit the hardest shot of the night when it was needed most lmao

AcanthocephalaSad541 | Heat

11 | 2 days ago

DBOOK just threw away their last three possession what was that

zdar2 | Suns

8 | 2 days ago

Only reason we were in it, went way too late on the last one tho

blueclown562000 | Suns

3 | 2 days ago

Need Collin in for some of those offensive possessions

Kuntsaw | Suns

7 | 2 days ago

Yeah but also the reason we were there to win it. Can’t complain too much, b2b and down to the wire against very physical teams.

1gnominious | Rockets

4 | 2 days ago

That last airball was a head scratcher. Burned the entire clock and went for a sideways fading deep 2.

Schwalm | Suns

3 | 2 days ago

That’s a normal Booker shot tho

Slow-Raccoon-9832

3 | 2 days ago

He was gassed but he was waiting too long to go on offense

Holy_cow2024

7 | 2 days ago

KD told his former team to go home. 😂😂😂

Dude went ¹⁄₁₁ from deep then made the last one.

Suns on a SEGABABA with plane delays. Feels like we always play the Rockets in weird conditions.

Great shot by KD

Renegadeforever2024 | Raptors

4 | 2 days ago

Rockets are the real deal

TheVision_13 | Suns

8 | 2 days ago

I agree but I like the implication that they’re the real deal because they beat the suns cos the suns are the real deal

free_reezy | Rockets

3 | 2 days ago

Y’all are the 7th seed in January, you can act like it now.

sorendiz | HOU

2 | 2 days ago

no doubt about that, suns are here to play this season even with the injuries they’ve had and y’all are very right to feel excited about them

TheVision_13 | Suns

2 | 2 days ago

I didn’t think we would be as bad as the media were saying we would be but the team being this good and moreso this fun to watch has been a real pleasant surprise. Really hoping we can make some real noise once green is back

nahwhatever-whynot | Rockets

Fact

rethinksqurl

They barely beat us on a back to back, da fuq are you on.

BadabingBadaboom212 | Rockets

11 | 2 days ago

Without Sengun sir

rethinksqurl

-7 | 2 days ago

Without JG sir

Putrid-Peehole | Rockets

11 | 2 days ago

We literally traded JG away because Sengun is our best player, quit it with that cope

rethinksqurl

-9 | 2 days ago

You literally have an almost identical win percentage as last year with adding KD. You barely beat us on a back to back. JG is was your leading scorer. You can say whatever you want but idk if sengun being your best player is a flex.

We are also the 7 seed. We are kinda good. You are also only kinda good

free_reezy | Rockets

8 | 2 days ago

Without Fred Van Vleet

browndude10 | United States

Beat you without the all star center

aboooz | Rockets

Sheranes_Father | Rockets

The offense at the end was literally give KD the ball and clear out and somehow it worked out for the last 5 minutes lmao this team is so hard to watch night to night

Can’t believe he got such a good shot going from that position. Just unlucky.

Matzeeh | Spurs

4 | 2 days ago

KD is still unreal, what a pickup for the Rockets

sorendiz | HOU

3 | 2 days ago

i sure miss Dillon but you have to make that trade 10 times out of 10 in our position, don’t regret it for a second

magic_spam

6 | 2 days ago

I’d like to point out that the clock malfunction seven times tonight and every single one of those times the suns were in transition on offense and they were cooking the rockets at the time. It’s not a conspiracy. I’m just saying that definitely helped.

Ohmmy_G

7 | 2 days ago

“Every single one.” Some of those were the shot clock not resetting after made field goals.

BeardyMcCbeard | Rockets

3 | 2 days ago

Bruh, that was all in the first quarter. That made no difference in this game

magic_spam

1 | 2 days ago

Oh shoot I forgot runs in the first quarter don’t count

free_reezy | Rockets

3 | 2 days ago

Booker sure got the runs on those last three possessions.

magic_spam

-4 | 2 days ago

So something completely irrelevant to your point then lol.

free_reezy | Rockets

1 | 2 days ago

My point? Was I making a point?

TheVision_13 | Suns

3 | 2 days ago

Exactly we would’ve hit a 3 on every single one of those so really we won

sorendiz | HOU

2 | 2 days ago

we def lucked out, bribing the clocks to stop working ahead of time was the right move 🙏

magic_spam

I hundred percent stopped watching at halftime because the offensive vibes were way off. Check the score accidentally with lik 30 sec to go lucky to catch this ice cold buzzer beater

EbenezerAD | Rockets

2 | 2 days ago

When we were down 13, I told myself if we went down 15 I would turn off the game. Fortunately, that’s where we woke up

It’s a play that has worked multiple times for the Suns before, although that may have worked against us because Okogie sniffed it out.

KD it’s Devin booker’s father

The Houston Rockets (22-11) defeat the Phoenix Suns (21-15), 100-97 behind KD’s game-winning three!
