Phoenix Suns vs Houston Rockets Full Highlights 3rd QTR | Dec 27 | 2023 NBA Regular Season

Basketball Club Eric Gord 21 points first time back in the building since the Rockets traded at him at last season’s trade deadline after seven season seere 53s green has made four of the Rockets 63s did walk to the locker room Jaylen green did with a little bit

Of a limp after that one late fall in the second quarter but suns were up by as many as 20 and they’re currently up by uh 18 here and Durant really hasn’t looked for his shot much in this game Miss there just a seventh to 10th but he’s been again doing everything else

Blocking shots steals 10 assists five rebounds as well for him in the first half this is all occurring where Durant has just not gone off neither has Devon Booker bad pass terrific hustle though by shenon to get it back as green steps into a three knuckling one which is no [Applause]

Good Rockets not shooting threes well not finishing around the rim well and that’s why they’re down big Durant turns it over turnover number 11 here for the Suns and again this is a back-to- back game no Dylan Brooks and he does make a huge impact you can see just the energy of the

Rockets not the same stays Phoenix’s way eight on the shot clock good news for the Rockets as there’s plenty of time left and the fourth quarter has not begun yet for the Suns and fourth quarter has been a bit of a problem for them this season over

The top to Booker that was way too easy talk about the weak side not being there earlier in the first half and still lacking Durant 11 Assists yeah not a whole lot of ball nor man movement here for the Rockets green hoists and hits that’s his fifth you see Jam Green’s offense coming around but the Rockets not moving attacking playing together and that’s something they’ve been really good at this season from 18 bounces off back TA by

Nkit to Durant he’s open the three and that time shun’s going to be call for the foul pushing nurkic yeah nurkic is a load he just planted himself at the front of the rim and got multiple rebounds sometimes it may take two or three guys just to box him out yic when

He’s played again he’s missed the last couple of games actually just gave they switched the foul to Van Fleet so van Fleet picked it up but nurkic has been out the last couple of games for personal reasons but when he’s played he has dominated with the glass coming into

This game also has the best net rating on the team and the net best net offensive rating for the Sun so they certainly missed him in their last two games both losses he is a big time factor for them as Eric Gordon called for the second

Defensive three call on the suns in the game and of course the mean machine is back at it Eric Gordon was one of my favorite parts of his time here in Houston and V blee misses the free throw Eric Gordon never want he’s got some of the best facial expressions going in the

League we’ve got a rolling here tonight fire in the first half 17 second quarter points 21 for the game take go Baseline and hammers it all right that’s what the rockets need let’s see if they can play some defense here Durant to nerk as he drew a double

Team okay so the Rockets are are putting two on the ball with Durant and Booker as you should that the weak shot has to roll over and look at Jan Tate here going Baseline and just dunking all over nkic first make first attempt first points of the game for Tate for start of

The season and played to the injured Dylan Brooks drained obl last night in the third quarter left that one is out tonight man Fleet Stumbles green working on Allen stepping back fre ball pure there you go back to back threes for Jaylen green we still would like to see the Rockets get some easier looks 13 assists now for Kevin Durant as a season High rant will do the honors [Applause] Inbounding trying to go back inside to nkit got kick Chu lock will be re set to 14 Kevin Durant last year talked about shinon you know KD’s a basketball head shenon his one of his favorite players to watch in the NBA so KD’s watching Alp and his time off Allen

Tokish the setup dribble caused the defense to collapse try to skip it across to Allen and Tate was there to pick it off and Jabari Smith is hurt not joining the rockets on this end of the floor sh scores there you go but that’s the Rockets defense scrambling hustling

And I think jaar’s going to have to come out of the game as Tate fouls Booker [Applause] yep asked out oh goodness Tate picked up the foul there and now Jabari Smith Jr limping back to the Rockets bench area good sign I don’t know if you’ve seen that from him

Before Dar e picks him up going to go take a look at him see what happens here with Jabar he’s chasing Durant steps weird there know what happened leaning three Booker no with his fourth quarter head to Van bleet Rockets we down 20 green lines it up yeah good basketball though good

Basketball great looking shot there tough luck on that one he’s been hot otherwise Gordon to Allen for three excellent pass on the Move by Eric Gordon to another really good shooter and Grayson Allen is second made three Grayson Allen just you can see his Poise that he’s playing with was with

Milwaukee the last couple of years and part of that Lillard deal that’s good basketball you got van attacking shenon short rolling and then a wide open Jaylen green jaylen’s going to end up making more of those shots than he missing good basketball there Durant from the mid range and you know

Kevin Durant in his career if he’s hasn’t been the best long two shot maker in NBA history he’s on the extreme short list and you see this is an area where Kevin Durant normally thrives but this season on long two is a shooting below 35% there is a trick in here somebody

Will come up with something I don’t want to call them the mittens can’t do that actually think that they call Gary PT thei that after his father a little bit here’s a leaning three for V and the rockets outside of Jaylen green that really struggle to shoot the

Three ball but f getss it to go is first and again the Rockets defense starting to wake up this is team that defends first and they score second nkit with four Fouls and shenon now with three mer one of the stronger guys in the NBA saw B junis about a game or two ago and right back with nkic and thing is you see the contact he makes right through your chest man so first free throws of the game for

10 rebounds again he has been when he’s been on the floor he has really rebounded the ball well here outside the last two games that he’s missed and now a quick message from Jack In The Box how do you take something ultimate and make it even more ultimate bacon like you

Didn’t see that coming yeah I was just looking at tar east’s basketball reference page he does not have a nickname at All van Fleet the shenon the world the step back and and the M good stuff there by Al shun keep milking him he’s been the best player for the Rockets his last handful of games and pretty much this season make nurk have to defend we’re going to try to get the

Fourth here on shenon stands his ground doesn’t pick up the foul gets the Miss there he’s been so much better this season defensively forget the offense and Fleet stuff gets it back Coock lock down to five shenon into the lane and rebound to Tate spinning back to shenon the hand off to Green as three is in the air and it is off the side of the iron
