Devin Booker on loss vs. Memphis: 'Frustration level's high'
Gerald Bourguet: Devin Booker on the Suns’ frustration level: “Frustration level’s high. We’re all competitors in here, and we realize these games are gonna cost us in the end of the season… We wanna gain some ground, get up out of the play-in position and just win every possible game.” pic.x.com/pkbUHu4WLVSource: Twitter @GeraldBourguet What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Not enough energy in the first half tonight before picking it up in the second. – 12:06 AM Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Final: MEM 117, PHX 112 Durant: 29 Pts, 10 Reb, 6 Ast, 11-19 FG Jones: 21 Pts, 7-15 FG Booker: 16 Pts, 9 Ast, 4-20 FG Jackson: 38-10-4, 12-23 FG Bane: 31-7-5, 13-25 FG Suns have lost 15 of the last 21 games since the 9-2 start – 11:36 PM Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Woof. Suns give up offensive rebounds on back-to-back possessions leading to a Luke Kennard 3 and a Desmond Bane layup. Then Konchar gets an and-1.
