Phoenix Suns vs Houston Rockets Full Highlights 2nd QTR | Dec 27 | 2023 NBA Regular Season

That they have a worse record than the Rockets do at this point of the season I don’t think anybody saw that coming both in terms of where they are and where the Rockets are I don’t think they expected Bradley Bill to be missing so that is a little

Tough those play what six games for them that’s it yeah but I again as we talked about in the open they have way too much talent high end Talent on this team they’re not they’re going to figure it out Ain’t No Way listen if Kevin Kevin

Oh looking G Going it right at LP you got to know Eric is a right-hand driver seen it in practice several times but if think this is a lineup where Alp can really establish Himself Rockets really struggling in the paint here in this first half they at 74 and then Whit to [Applause] Aggressive So one minute into the second quarter the rocket still Trail by double figures e on Durant comes around the shenon pick now to Holiday shun able to grab the rebound back to Holiday immediately though goes back up with it misses then e steals it away from menu goes to the hole and

Scores how good is he several times last night we just saw it again unbelievable that is that is a a talent that is not an accident t e does that to everybody alado with the Pelicans does something similar to that and maybe tar e should get uh something uh named

Himself here because he’s doing this now on the regular that’s Tesa man give me that he just taking the ball right out of guy’s hands man again you you don’t see that at a pro level you know maybe you know Au kids who can’t really hold

The ball all that what he’s taking it from NBA players man consistently just picked up the foul Durant to Gordon I can say that right it’s his first time back in the building long time former rocket we’re happy to see ER Gord but ER Eric just slow down a little bit man

Eric with nine he wanted more touches he’s getting them he’s four or five now his first three shenon Works Baseline draws a triple Team Works around that triple team at scor all right let’s just call it what it is it’s inexcusable if he doesn’t touched the basketball just about every time

Down Durant a metu and he throws it away there you go again there’s no pure point guard here so make the Suns have to make decisions spinoff Baseline on metsu that’s all night and scoring amongst four different suns in the paint there half a dozen for shenon and again

When shenon gets the ball expect that double team especially yeah there goes nurk checking right back in but you got to play through him last six games for Al 25 points 11 rebounds five assists on 56% shooting and Durant with the drop off and then a monster dunk by nir little

For laser he had a career night Cent or what about a season ago goodness Durant’s only scored eight point but man is Durant doing everything else well defending at a really high level here in this first half has five rebounds and six assists as well he only taken one

Shot and Rocket turn him over as they try to go to Durant here’s Whitmore in the open floor and he’s SC the score cam Whitmore we know he can score in a bunches first meaningful minutes we’ve seen from cam so right back to Durant there’s the double the skip little again and attacks

The rib and got fouled there’s no way Rockets have to rotate and communicate out of a trap everybody hugging their man and that play cam Whitmore can’t go for that steal he got to be got to be solid there stay home Fred Van Fleet and jayen green

Returned for the Rockets here now a quick message from into Credit Karma reach your financial goals with an assist from in Credit Karma proud partner of the Houston Rockets three-point play completed good minutes for little off the Suns bench and Rockets again back down 12 E’s open his

Three rocket one of nine e gets it again and then had it blocked and then taken away here by Lee who races the other way attacks van Fleet who provided very little resistance and the sun’s now the biggest lead of the game Rockets really out of Swords three of those five steals for

The Rockets shot making for Houston not there shun bounced off but nurkic been a flat first half from a Houston perspective [Applause] and one in which Kevin Durant only scored a point and the Sun up by double figures which is very good one for the Suns contributions from elsewhere deep

Three Eric Gordon long rebound asuki says SL to have it back to Durant lets it fly a three it’s a brick breaking kiss there from Jaylen [Applause] green and Fleet with a nice move but could not score Bo less than 38% from the field again

The heave and this time it goes down for Durant his first make of the game that’s the thing especially with this unit you have to pick up Kevin Durant he’s got to see bodies every time he touches the Basketball shenon he runs it up and a that’s nine for him again keep playing through him once he gets double team be ready to cut and score he he he’s still hot you can see it by the way he’s moving on the floor Durant now looking for his and he

Gets it with the slam I he’s got to be better there defensively get in your stance and and defend too easy there for Kevin Durant double pick out H for Van Fleet now to Smith his straightway three rockets energy really off they don’t look like themselves here tonight only this is a group that’s bouncing around talking communicating leave with the ball fake runs it to shenon and yeah he was going

To get it off the board if I so steing in with confidence man the Rockets down 16 green over Durant 43 boy did the rockets need that second make for Houston from three they’re not hitting her threes they’re not finishing around the rim it’s not been the best of hals from

Again a rocket perspective is tape too aggressive fing Durant well ahead of that three-point line there Dylan Brooks brings so much to this ball club with his energy and effort you know for forget anything he does offensively just his mindset and preparation coming into ball games team is missing Dylan

Brooks all back in Nice Baseline a walking with it there you go much better job of pressuring the basketball there from the rockets and forcing a turnover I think that’s something the Rockets really have to do there’s there’s no natural point guard in in a phoenix Jersey here tonight so force them to have to make decisions

Already nine turnovers for the suns in the half [Applause] and Durant R is over Tate great defense there from Jan taking up the air space of Kevin Durant he’s got seven P off Gordon and now
