From Wednesday: "We fought, we clawed, stuck together." Dillon Brooks on Suns 20-point comeback win over Kings. On second-half defense: "Our physicality was a lot better. Our bigs were coming over more. We were forcing them to drive on close outs to our bigs for shot blocks." #Suns

From Wednesday: "Yeah, someone prepped. I anticipated some water, but I anticipated it on the front end. They got me on the back end. You can get room temperature. That was not room temperature." Jordan Ott on celebration of first win as an NBA head coach. Devin Booker: "It's big-time. It's a welcome to the Valley moment." Booker noted Suns played video with Ott's family and friends congratulating him. Ott also received the game ball. #Suns

From Wednesday: “We started switching a lot. Just trying to pick up the intensity, pick up the effort. It felt like they were way too comfortable in the first half getting everything that they wanted. We understand that they’ll make tough shots with very talented players but just making them a little bit more uncomfortable and I think we did a pretty good job of that” Devin Booker on 2nd half adjustment in Suns 20-point comeback win over Kings in opener. On "nasty" 6 turnovers, five missed FTs: "Just careless with the ball. Losing it. It's unlike me. Just got to lock in." #Suns

From Wednesday: "Just the belief. The belief in one another to get back out at halftime, get back at it. There's all this emotion and energy that goes into Game 1. We felt it." Suns coach Jordan Ott on the third quarter of Suns 20-point comeback over Kings. On second-half adjustment: "We ended up switching. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter as much about the coverages as our compete level." #Suns

Dillon Brooks on the DeMar DeRozan battle: "It was definitely a wear-down effect on DeMar. He's a great player, finds a way to get to that free-throw line. We wore down on Zach too. They couldn't find him in the fourth quarter."

Suns Up & Good Night, Suns fans!

Devin Booker on Dillon Brooks: "That's part of his M.O., and we need that. It's definitely something that we didn't have a lot of last year. Just getting everybody riled up, getting everybody in tune with the game and you can't teach that stuff and you can't value it."

Locker room hype for Coach's first win‼️

Devin Booker started Year 11 with a comeback W! ☀️ 31 PTS ☀️ 10 in 3Q (4-5 FGM) ☀️ Erased 17-point deficit

Dillon Brooks postgame. Thoughts on his performance in Suns comeback win. #Suns

"The fans stuck with us." Dillon Brooks after Suns comeback win, admitting he 'shot it bad.' 1-of-8 from 3. On defending DeMar DeRozan: "It was definitely a wear down effect." #Suns

Our 17-point halftime deficit ties for the second-largest halftime comeback in a season opener in NBA HISTORY!

"it meant a lot. It felt good." Mark Williams on his Suns debut in 120-116 comeback win. On coming off the bench: "A little different, but it was what we needed." #Suns

Devin Booker described his overall play tonight as "nasty." Agreed it was unlike him to have the turnovers he did. A sloppy level of play he expects to correct quickly and he is not taking solace in still managing 31 points on 10-of-19 shooting.

"A lot of havoc." Royce O'Neale on Dillon Brooks after Suns comeback win over Kings. On back-to-back 3s in 3rd quarter comeback: "The game is always about patience, finding the open looks." #Suns

Me to Ryan Dunn: Dillon... Wh--- Dunn: He's crazy! He's crazy. I don't got nothing to say. I'll say this, I'm glad to have him on my team. He's a dog, but he means well. He pushes us every day, he's gonna try to go at everybody he guards. That's someone good to have your back.
