No game tonight, just a quiet court
where sneakers rest and banners breathe;
February hush, a desert porch,
the city holds its heat in sheaves.
Streetlights keep a watchful glow,
radios trade soft predictions.

On the board: ankle, hamstring, knee—
small storms with big shadows and hope.
Devin Booker, Jalen Green,
Grayson Allen, threaded in rope.

Cole Anthony, Isaiah Livers,
game-time whispers, careful turns;
the gym lights hum like patient rivers,
and every pass is how it learns.

We’re a shooting town, a steady arc,
waiting for the sky to clear;
the break is just a softened spark,
the next bright tip already near.
