Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Bridges is walking back to the bench — a good sign for the Suns after he suffered a hand injury at the end of the first quarter. – 10:59 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Mikal Bridges out of the Phoenix locker room, in jersey, looks like he’s cleared to return. – 10:58 PM

Malika Andrews @malika_andrews
Suns’ Mikal Bridges is probable to return with a dislocated right pinkie, the team says. – 10:58 PM

Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Kevon Looney picks up his third foul in 9 minutes. Ayton is simply too big and mobile for Kevon, who takes a seat midway Q2 – 10:58 PM

Chris Paul swing-throughs remain undefeated – 10:58 PM

Paul gets Wiggins on rip move.
Goes to line.
Splits FTs. #Suns down 4. – 10:58 PM

The separation Steph Curry is getting on some of these shots without Mikal Bridges out there is night and day – 10:56 PM

Brad Botkin @bradbotkincbs
I don’t fully understand the fascination with Curry’s handle. It’s loose as hell, at times downright shaky. What’s otherworldly is his getting into shot out of dribble. But the actual dribbling? It’s not anything most NBA PGs can’t do. – 10:54 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Great job by the Suns of stabilizing with a 10-2 run. Back within 5 – 10:53 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
#Suns first went on 7-0 run to cut #Warriors lead to six.
Now it’s down to five as Crowder hits 3. Has 8.
Ayton 9. #Warriors 36, #Suns 31 with 8:28 left in 1st half. – 10:52 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Suns with an impressive 7-0 response after the Warriors put them down by 13. Streak or no streak, this group is so resilient – 10:51 PM

Fouled on play. Misses FT.
Lead down to six. – 10:50 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Doc on the key ATO Curry 3, with Trae chasing: “They switch a lot too. The whole key was Seth had to get open.”
On the second quarter offense: “It was awful… We literally had to get unstuck and we did that.”
On Embiid: “If you had a ratio of his shots, you liked it tonight.” pic.twitter.com/Wj0grDei1K – 10:50 PM

Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
That contest by Cam Johnson on Curry is why Phoenix is such a good defense. He ran from the paint to get a hand up on a wide-open Curry though the likelihood was he was too late. That kind of effort is a sign of the team culture – 10:48 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin

Of note: Chris Chiozza isn’t active tonight. Warriors opting to save a two-way day. Chiozza played 12 minutes the other night in Phoenix, not a rotation option tonight. Could mean more GP2 and the returning Damion Lee. – 10:30 PM

Andrew Wiggins had 10 points on 4-12 FG in the first game against the Suns. He’s already up to 7 points on 3-4 FG tonight – 10:26 PM

Khobi Price @khobi_price
FINAL: Rockets 118, Magic 116.
Cole Anthony gets a good look on a 3-pointer to potentially win the game, but shot is just a tad off.
Magic fall to 5-19.
Next up: Golden State Warriors on Monday in San Francisco. – 10:24 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
What the Warriors are missing is not only someone with size, but someone with size who can finish contested shots and defend the paint.
That’s why Deandre Ayton is the X-factor in these matchups. Had 24 and 11 in #Suns win Tuesday.
Warriors up 12-10 early tonight. #NBA75 – 10:24 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Warriors go with Wiggins on Paul instead of Green. That’s so Wiggins can pick up Paul full court. They want to try and wear CP3 down. Easier to do when Wiggins isn’t on Booker. – 10:20 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Paul over Looney, followed by 2nd Ayton block. #Suns within one. – 10:19 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Andrew Wiggins looks livelier than the other night when he was dealing with back spasms. Already has offensive rebound/putback, corner 3 and, no longer assigned to Booker, is picking up Chris Paul the length of the court. – 10:19 PM

Keep an eye on how Curry and Green execute off the switches/pressure defensively on Curry. A handful of Golden State’s turnovers came during the Suns’ recovery after that initial Steph action. Kerr said they can’t get sped up. – 10:15 PM

Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Steve Kerr said Klay Thompson’s stamina now in scrimmages compared to when he first started scrimmaging is “pretty dramatic.” Kerr cautioned frustrating days could be ahead when the gains in endurance and strength aren’t as huge. “He needs to play day after day,” Kerr said. – 8:28 PM

Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Steve Kerr said Andre Iguodala (knee) is progressing but will likely miss both games of this weekend’s back-to-back. – 8:25 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey are a combined 2/10 from the floor and yet Philly is up 31-29. It helps that Seth Curry has 11 on 5/5 shooting. #Sixers – 8:23 PM

Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin
Steve Kerr said these last few weekly will likely be toughest for Klay Thompson both mentally and physically because the final stretch of improvements will be gradual. – 8:22 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Andre Iguodala is getting up shots pregame tonight, but is expected to miss both sides of this back-to-back. That’ll be nine straight missed games because of right knee swelling. Progressing toward return, per Kerr. – 8:21 PM

Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Steve Kerr says Andre Iguodala is progressing and is currently getting shots up on the practice court. Still no timetable for his return. This is his eight consecutive missed game after some right knee swelling. – 8:20 PM

Kelly Iko @KellyIkoNBA
The more early high PnR reps Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood get, the smoother their half court offense looks. Jae’Sean Tate and Eric Gordon have gotten clean looks off simply due to spacing. – 8:20 PM

Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin
Steve Kerr said Andre Iguodala, who has missed eight-straight games, is progressing, but he added he’s doubtful for tomorrow. – 8:20 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Steve Kerr said the Suns defended them better than any other team this year. He’s glad they were able to experience it and can make adjustments from that for tonight. – 8:19 PM

Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin
Steve Kerr added that only so much can be determined from these December games, however, considering Booker is out for the Suns and Thompson and Iguodala are out for the Warriors. – 8:19 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 31, Hawks 22 at the end of the first. Great start for Philly, led by Curry’s 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting. Hawks had 6 turnovers. Embiid is 1-of-5 from the floor but has been aggressive and drawing fouls (6-of-7 from the line) and has 5 boards. – 8:14 PM

Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
With the exception of Seth Curry, that was a very unwatchable quarter from both sides. – 8:14 PM
