The Sixers have a chance tonight to sweep their three-game West Coast road trip, but they’ll have a much tougher obstacle in front of them than injury-riddled Lakers and Clippers clubs. The Phoenix Suns sit at 60-14, far and away the best record in the NBA. They are currently riding a seven-game winning streak, most recently sweeping a three-game road trip of their own, defeating Sacramento, Minnesota, and Denver. More crucially for Phoenix, Chris Paul returned to the court in the win over the Nuggets after missing just over a month due to a fractured thumb. CP3 did not look the least bit affected by the layoff, tallying 17 points and 13 assists in 30 minutes.
