Right as he was subbed in during the 2nd quarter, the arena erupted. Then, after a couple rebounds and an electric dunk, it began to sound like a playoff game.

The Suns fed off this energy and quickly turned a 9-point deficit into a 20-point lead. They ended up winning 109-88.

After the game, Bol received recognition for his efforts from his teammates, Jusuf Nurkic and Bradley Beal.

Nurkic even referred to Bol as a “magnet” when speaking about how much the crowd loves him.

And, of course, fans continued to pile on the love all night long.

Bol ended the night with 11 points along with 9 rebounds. This stat line alone topped his season totals.
