Suns Recap and Notes

Green totaled 26 points (8-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday’s 121-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Green has been struggling with his shot in this first-round series, converting just 39 percent of his field-goal attempts. The counting stats have been decent, but he’ll need to be more efficient to help the Suns avoid elimination in Game 4 on Monday.

Brooks ended Saturday’s 121-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 33 points (11-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes.

Brooks has now dropped 30-plus points in back-to-back games, but the Suns still haven’t been able to earn a victory in this first-round series against the defending champs. Collin Gillespie pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds to go with seven points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five assists, one steal and one block over 33 minutes in the loss.

Booker closed with 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 39 minutes during Saturday’s 121-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Booker briefly exited Saturday’s game after tweaking his ankle when he got tripped up by Luguentz Dort, but he returned a few minutes later and didn’t appear any worse for wear. He still struggled to find his shot with Dort draped all over him, and he’ll need to be better if the Suns hope to avoid a four-game sweep in Monday’s Game 4.
