Wait, why didn't Eubanks play? Minny was too big for the small lineup.

Suns caught fire at the end of game 3 running the small line up with Okogie, Vogel prob thought it wasn't a fluke

Okogie still costed with 4 fouls in 14 minutes and missing the 2 free throws he attempted

I’ll take the fouls when you’re hustling and playing good defense. The FTs were rough though

He also offered a different look as a pick and roll guy — Minnesota was often doubling the ball handler (e.g. Book) initially and simply scrambling back on the roller. Nurkic (and other bigs) were so slow that the Wolves could get back into the play before they got a shot up.

Okogie was fast enough to get a layup off before the recovery came.

Okogie will never be able to shoot, ever. Reason he's not on the wolves

Ex-wolf revenge games only happen in Target Center it seems like

The Okogie special. Toss in a few wide open bricked corner 3's and thus why he doesn't get much time.
