Yeah I’ve read nothing but good things about how it performs in both docked and handheld mode! It’s nice that the days of Nintendo platforms being vastly inferior are gone

Pessimist vs. Optimist: Mark Williams' highs and lows are worth a conversation | Suns After Dark: A Phoenix Suns Pod Site Get more from Suns After Dark: A Phoenix Suns Pod Site on Patreon

Another low-minute night for Mark Williams. Earlier today, I wrote about the highs and lows of his season from both an optimistic and pessimistic point of view:

Just a reminder that heading into the season, most people expected the Suns to trade vets like Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen.

Instead, they're closing out tight wins over the Lakers, all with Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks out injured. Incredible stuff

Final: PHX 113, LAL 110
Allen: 28 Pts, 6 Ast, 9-24 FG, 6-16 3P
Gillespie: 21 Pts, 7-13 FG, 6-11 3P
O'Neale: 13 Pts, 6 Reb, 4-7 FG
Doncic: 41 Pts, 8 Reb, 8 Ast, 12-21 FG, 6-11 3P

Austin Reaves misses the open corner 3 off a great ATO, Suns get a much-needed win

27.02.2026 04:34 β€” πŸ‘ 27    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Make that Lakers defense move and it's curtains lol Royce O'Neale with the go-ahead 3 with 0.9 seconds left off of Grayson Allen's drive and great pass to the corner, excellent swing from Collin Gillespie

27.02.2026 04:32 β€” πŸ‘ 20    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Oof. Two massive missed 3s from Grayson Allen that were wide open that I'm sure he already wants back. Tie game with 22.7 seconds left, Suns ball

He’s just plastered to the screener like a slice of Kraft inside a grilled cheese right now lol

Suns are turning Luka Doncic into one of Dali's melting clocks with the way he's absolutely dying on these screens lmao

Nice to see Ryan Dunn respond in kind with Rasheer Fleming playing so well tonight. My God that Lakers defense is something to behold. Suns up 10 with 7:43 to go

27.02.2026 04:10 β€” πŸ‘ 11    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Grayson Allen 1st half: 10 points, 4-12 FG, 2-7 3P

Grayson Allen 3rd quarter: 16 points, 5-6 FG, 4-5 3P

End of 3Q: PHX 80, LAL 80

Gillespie: 8 Pts, 3-8 FG
Green: 7 Pts, 3-12 FG
Doncic: 32 Pts, 8 Reb, 7 Ast, 9-18 FG, 10-11 FT

Suns up 50-15 in bench points, close the 3Q on a 22-10 run

Fun 10-0 Suns run there, punctuated by a gorgeous layup from Rasheer Fleming past Deandre Ayton, a smooth Jamaree Bouyea finish in transition, an Oso Ighodaro swat on DA at the rim and back-to-back transition 3s from Grayson Allen. 2-point game again

27.02.2026 03:48 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah I don’t wanna hear shit about how Devin Booker fell off because his scoring is like 1-2 points down or his 3P% is bad or whatever.

You cannot watch this Suns offense right now and tell me his impact is anything less than immense

Halftime: PHX 49, LAL 49

Gillespie: 8 Pts, 3-6 FG, 2-4 3P
Green: 7 Pts, 3-10 FG, 1-4 3P
Doncic: 18 Pts, 4 Reb, 2 Stl, 6-13 FG

Rasheer Fleming hasn't scored a single point but is still having a significant impact on the game. 6 boards, +12 in 11 minutes. Keep finding minutes for that kid!

End of 1Q: LAL 27, PHX 22
Dunn: 5 Pts, 2-2 FG
Green: 4 Pts, 2-5 FG
Gillespie: 3 Pts, 1-2 FG
Doncic: 12 Pts, 2 Stl, 5-7 FG

Suns scored 17 points in the first 5:10, then only 5 points over the next 6:50

14-2 Lakers run since that last timeout. Not gonna make any sweeping declarations about Jalen Green coming back from injury to this shorthanded version of the Suns, but they could really do with him shaking off that rust a bit quicker

27.02.2026 02:26 β€” πŸ‘ 10    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 1

Nothing like that 24th ranked Lakers defense to cure what ails the Suns offensively. They’re up 17-9 five minutes into this one

Pessimist vs. Optimist: Mark Williams' highs and lows are worth a conversation | Suns After Dark: A Phoenix Suns Pod Site Get more from Suns After Dark: A Phoenix Suns Pod Site on Patreon

The highs and lows of Mark Williams are worth a conversation. So for @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, I had that conversation with myself, pitting optimist vs. pessimist to make sense of his first season with the #Suns:

26.02.2026 16:02 β€” πŸ‘ 9    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Devin Booker (right hip strain), Dillon Brooks (left hand fracture), Jordan Goodwin (left calf strain), Haywood Highsmith (right knee injury management) and Cole Anthony (not with team) all remain out for tomorrow’s game against the Lakers

26.02.2026 00:09 β€” πŸ‘ 13    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 4    πŸ“Œ 2

Yeah that list is a bit old now, Pluribus would be an addition for sure and I’d probably change the order a bit. Slow Horses is on my list but I haven’t gotten around to it yet, I’ve heard good things though!

25.02.2026 22:53 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Dealing with a stomach bug and possibly the flu, so no Suns game for me tonight. Y’all enjoy!

The only upside to being sick over the last few weeks was getting a little more gaming time. Hades 2 on the Switch 2 is a masterpiece
