The second half of this game was honestly just great basketball from the whole team, especially from Yuta Watanabe (24 PTS, 10 REB, 4 BLK, 4/10 for 3 in 39 MIN) and Dalano Banton (31 PTS, 4 REB, 4 AST, 2 STL, 1 BLK, 3/7 for 3 in 34 MIN).
On the last plays of the game Dalano and Yuta pulled through with an insane defensive sequence with blocks from both of them. They really performed amazingly in the last quarter. Dalano made 23 of his 31 points in the 4th quarter!
The Suns were required to sign another 10 day player after Payton went back into protocols last night.

A few people have requested that we do Game Threads for 905 games. Depending on how this goes, we might make this a regular thing.
The 905 are 1.5 games behind the 1st seed, and have won 7 of their last 10 despite missing both Malachi Flynn and Jalen Harris for most of their streak. Guys like Henry Ellenson and AlizeJohnson are balling, averaging 19.7 points and 12.9 rebounds respectively. See the full game notes here.

The Santa Cruz Warriors beat the Westchester Knicks in the NBA G League with Jeremy Lin scoring 29 points 9-12 on 7-9 3pt shooting, 9 assists in 31 minutes in the win. A great win for the team.
Jeremy Lin is playing great, sign him to an NBA team.

Full Quote:
I’d be getting rid of that practice facility in Westchester. Nobody wants to live there, no one wants to commute there. You have to get as close to the city as possible. That’s why Brooklyn got Kevin Durant. I told DeAndre Jordan who told Kevin Durant: The practice facility is two minutes from (Barclays Center). They didn’t even know that. I lived in the city. It took me 12 minutes to get to the practice facility. That’s a huge bonus. People bash the Knicks, but I definitely wouldn’t bash the Knicks. I would have gone there if the Lakers wouldn’t have offered me, or Brooklyn. If it was my third or fourth option, sure.
