I think it'll be a turnaround fadeaway.

All right, back to me here for another winner of the weekend.

I'm going to lump together a couple teams because I'm going to give a winner of the weekend to the Western Conference play-in teams.

Specifically, 7, 8, and 9.

That's Phoenix, the Warriors...

and the Blazers.

Start with Phoenix, and I'll move with some pace here.

But the Suns picked up, I thought, a really scrappy-ass win against the Knicks on Saturday.

They had lost a couple games in a row.

They're on a bit of a road trip here.

Devin Booker returned, though.

He was great.

He had 27 points.

He had come back from a sprained left ankle.

And they just, like, they just, like, fought this one out.

Like, it was one of these ones, like, they almost, like, you wouldn't even have been upset if they had dropped it.

But they didn't.

And that just, like, shows you what type of quality team this is this year and how hard they play.

And this is on a night where the Knicks are, like, welcoming back all of these, like, numerous legends.

Like, it was a homecoming game for the Knicks.
