Brett Brown said Suns hitting 19 of 37 from deep and getting so many open looks had to do with the decision to double Booker.
“The 3s, for the most part, were a byproduct of rotation, and that was on us (the coaches). That was the game plan, to jump Booker, who has been great.” – 7:27 PM

Brett Brown on Suns scoring in the paint:
“They had drop off pass after drop off pass to their big guys. When you ask, ‘How did it happen?’ We got beat on the first line of our defense, we had to rotate, and we didn’t have that second piece to the puzzle of one more rotation.” – 6:51 PM

Spurs slammed 133-95 by Suns to lose their 11th straight.
It’s the second-longest skid in Spurs history. If they lose their next 2 games – against Houston at home on Thursday and at Miami on Dec. 10 – they’ll match the 13-game streak of futility recorded by the 1988-89 team. – 6:18 PM
