00:00And Donnie, these are the games for Phoenix where maybe they have to steal one as a four and a half

00:05point road underdog. Not quite. Houston now has won four consecutive games with a 111-104 victory.

00:13The Rockets covering as a four and a half point home favorite in a game that featured a really

00:20big fight between Steven Adams and Mason Plumlee for Phoenix. After that, Jalen Green leads Houston

00:26to that seven-point win. The Rockets hold off Phoenix, and we're only a matter of a few days,

00:32a few games, from really maybe burying the hatchet in this Sun season.

00:37Yeah, and that's the way it's supposed to be. Like yesterday at the end of a segment,

00:41when I think about this Houston Rockets-Phoenix Suns game, there's no X's and O's. It's like

00:45sooner or later Phoenix is going to implode, and it probably will be tonight. Give me the

00:48Houston Rockets. And it was. 111-104 final, and there are no excuses. Man, we just didn't have

00:54Kevin Durant in the 62 games this year, and Devin Booker never could get it going. Bradley

00:59Beal was in and out of the lineup. Durant, Beal, Booker. It seems like every single night now,

01:04and it doesn't even really make a difference. 19 points for Kevin Durant. Efficient, by the way,

01:098 of 12 from the floor. 7 of 15 for Booker, 9 of 14 for Bradley Beal. But the surrounding cast,

01:14hey, Royce O'Neal in the starting line-up playing 28 minutes. Two points at this point. The bench

01:18doesn't come up big. Now I understand some of the bench was missing in that game, like Grayson Allen,

01:22but for me, it just doesn't work. And if you're Phoenix's ownership, you now understand, like,

01:26we didn't even try to hide late in the season. Like, you know what? I don't think this is our

01:31season. Let's just rest these guys like other teams are trying to do. All of the Philadelphia

01:3576ers as they got buried by the Raptors. They actually put their best foot forward here, Ben,

01:39over the final few weeks and going, let's see if we can actually make a run. Not even into the

01:43playoffs, but can we sneak into the 10th seed with these Hall of Fame type superstars on our team?

01:49It's embarrassing for the Suns at this point. I don't know when they shut it down or if they

01:53care to, but it doesn't matter if they play or not. They still stink.
