When Chris Paul got a carrying violation shortly before his technical foul, a source within hearing distance said the official told Paul if he could dribble like that he’d be in the league.
Paul’s response: “Well we know who was never a ball-handler.”
That got him his T. – 2:10 AM

Cam Johnson trash talking?
“Do you think I fouled you on that play?”
“You definitely hit my arm.”

“It wasn’t going at each other, barking back and forth. It was literal, simple conversation. Like ‘what are y’all running?’ Not that he is going to tell me.” #Suns pic.twitter.com/WOUtcVRaGn – 1:55 AM

“Everybody is in the paint … I’m only 6-4, 6-5, I can’t just jump over everybody, man. I ain’t as tall as Giannis. Everybody be asking me to dunk the ball like it’s all peaches and cream. I’ve got to get a good lane to dunk the ball.” – 1:50 AM

“They think KAT is a little bigger than me.” Cam Johnson.
Karl-Anthony Towns is bigger.
He’s 6-11, 250.
Johnson is 6-8, 210.
So that’s inches in height and 40 pounds heavier, but Johnson held his own when Towns looked to post him up. #Suns – 1:22 AM

The Suns went through six months of hell and came out the other side as the same juggernaut they were a year ago.
I know people won’t care about Phoenix’s success unless it’s in the playoffs, but it’s insanely impressive. Special group of players, and Monty’s a special coach. – 11:43 PM

Monty Williams said after practice yesterday, guys were playing one-on-one. Knowing Torrey Craig’s heel situation, pulled him aside to remind him it’s important to manage the early bumps and bruises. Craig will play tonight – 8:24 PM

Rockets forward Jae’Sean Tate is out again tomorrow with a sore right ankle. The issues with the ankle redeveloped on the road trip after he missed the first four games of the season. He was to be reevaluated while the Rockets were back home for a few days. – 6:37 PM
