Phoenix Suns topped Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday in first game after NBA All-Star break.
Before playing a game with the Suns, Terrence Ross was trying to imagine what it’d feel like to get open shots.Going 3-of-6 from deep, Ross wasso wide open on a corner 3 off a Booker feed in the second half, he had time to leave his hand up and started heading the other way without a Thunder defender in sight.
He seems like the ideal fifth guy to play with Booker, Paul, Durant and Deandre Ayton down the stretch of close games. He looked better defensively Friday than in his Suns debut before the break, but Ross is a streaky shooter.He’s going to get open looks in Phoenix. That was far from the case in Orlando.While Torrey Craig has started more games, Josh Okogie continues to show why he’s deserving of that fifth starter spot when Durant returns to join Booker, Paul and Ayton in the starting lineup.
He’s now scored at least 15 points in a career-best five consecutive games. Okogie finished Friday’s win with 15 points and seven rebounds.Suns coach Monty Williams has said matchups could determine who he starts between the two, but you’d think he’d settle on one within these final 22 games before the playoffs.Booker said they put the battery pack in Cameron Payne, who came out blazing after having not played since Jan. 4 when he suffered a right foot sprain at Cleveland.
