Mark Williams Gets His Opportunity And DOMINATES In Win OVER Brooklyn Nets As Suns END Losing Skid!
Phoenix Suns edge out Brooklyn Nets 106-102 as Mark Williams delivers a monstrous performance and reclaims his spotlight in the paint. Can Williams’ resurgence transform the Suns’ offensive identity and address their long-standing issues inside? Benjamin Garcia examines how Phoenix rallied in the clutch, breaking down Williams’ efficient 13-for-15 shooting night, pivotal late-game buckets, and the strategic adjustments that unlocked the big man.
Tempers flared in a chippy contest fueled by Dillon Brooks’ intensity, with technicals and flagrant fouls reshaping the Suns’ attitude in the absence of Devin Booker and Jalen Green. Garcia also highlights Grayson Allen’s timely contributions, unique lineup decisions from coach Jordan Ott, and the ongoing debate over the team’s rotation choices. What do these gritty wins say about Phoenix’s evolving culture, and who should step up as trade rumors swirl ahead of the deadline?

Massive win tonight to end the losing skid, please for the love of GOD get Mark Williams more involved in the Suns offense.
Love you ALL ❤
As much as I loved The Kleen Machine, I gotta say, you, Big Ben Garcia, have surpassed him. You're like my friendly favorite cousin that I love to see on the Holidays. You're so loveable, I just want to hug you 🤗.
Instead of this game I went to the Miami game on Sunday lol😢
Great things happen when you feed the big man!
Deandre Ayton crashing out in L.A. same song and dance and let that set in for a minute. Williams is proving he's more a max player than lazy DA ever was/is! Give this man his bag!!!
Fleming minutes should increase he is a good defender and rebounder
You know who would consistently feed Mark? Jalen Green. Sengun was his big in Houston for four seasons, and that experience would translate perfectly to Phoenix with Mark. We already saw flashes of it. Jalen’s assist numbers stayed low in Houston because he was often passing to one of the most inefficient bigs in the league. Give him Mark in Phoenix and his assists would spike. The only thing holding this back is health. 😂
An interesting new wrinkle we get to see from having a team that’s physical and pesters teams is which teams are soft af. The Suns can bang bodies with the Knicks all night and it’s all love afterwards, and then there’s teams like the Nets.
Bro mark Williams has to be waiting for boards
37 Here Shazam!!
The right shot is always the shot that goes in 💪🏿
I hope Ayton finds time to watch this game in between his 2k seshes. Maybe he’ll finally get a clue what he should be playing like.
Benny is the best in the bizz ….✅👍 Play those Centers, OTT 💩💩💩💩
