Chris Paul on Mikal Bridges. “That fourth quarter right there, shoot that’s nice. It’s nice man. Being in my third year here, a lot of times it’s me or Book. That’s just gonna make us that much more dangerous when 1 get back.” – 12:55 AM

Mikal Bridges on Chris Paul: “Whenever C gets hurt, it’s kind of like, ‘Good, sit your ass down. Get some rest.’ He got a lot of miles on that body so especially if it’s not something super serious. Little things like that, it’s like, Good. Get your rest.” – 12:52 AM

Asked Mikal Bridges about Chris Paul looking like the Point God since returning from injury, and he joked it’s almost good when CP3 has a minor injury, because then it’s like, “Good, sit your ass down. REST.”
Said Paul holding back is still better than most people’s best nights – 12:27 AM

Monty Williams pointed out how Mikal Bridges was able to thrive in those end-game situations while having the basketball sense with CP3 to run a slight counter to the first play that had worked (cc: @theIVpointplay). Credited Bridges for picking that up and being ready. – 11:36 PM

“We’re trying to keep him as fresh as we can.”
I asked Monty about Chris Paul playing his best basketball of the season after the injury. He noted that running offense through other guys, but still trusting CP3 in late-game moments, is big in not putting too much on his plate – 11:35 PM

Tough one. Raptors played hard, as they have for most of the trip. But they lost 3 of 4 quarters, threw the ball away too much in the 1st half, and then couldn’t hit the big shot or get the big stop/board when they needed it. They fall to 2-2 on the trip. Next stop: Utah on Wed. – 11:17 PM

Slow starts for Barnes (some questionable shot selection in the 1st half) and Achiuwa (outplayed by Ayton early), but they’ve both picked it up in the 2nd half. Scottie is stuffing the stat sheet in the 3rd Q (4-4-3) and Precious has his 5th double-double over the last 6 games. – 10:38 PM

Whatever assumption you’re making based on O.G. Anunoby’s words (HA!) or injury, I would suggest you not make that assumption. – 7:59 PM

As someone who has covered O.G. Anunoby for six season, let me say it’s best to take him literally and not assign too much under-the-surface meaning to what he says. – 7:01 PM

Cam Johnson said Mikal Bridges has talked trash since his rookie year. Asked about Mikal’s 3-point celly at the ground after getting a tech for it:

O.G. Anunoby (left wrist sprain) OUT tonight at #Suns after hard fall Friday at #Warriors.
Sat Saturday at #Blazers.
Name has crept back up in trade talks as it was in the summer.
Suns still looking to move Jae Crowder. #Bucks appear to be frontrunners. Trade deadline Feb. 9. pic.twitter.com/8cJRD61mHJ – 3:59 PM

Does Anunoby want out? I asked the Toronto forward about that, and also looked at how the recent emergence of Precious Achiuwa could help the Raptors make a decision on Anunoby and the other members of their core: sportsnet.ca/nba/article/if… – 3:24 PM
