Suns head coach Monty Williams has said a few times this season that the Suns (7-6) is far from solid, and that while they have faced small tests early this season they have not yet faced any real adversity.
“We haven’t been punched in the mouth yet.”
Now with back-to-back losses and heavy injuries mounting, the punch may have landed.
Until this week, the Suns had responded to every loss with a resounding win in their next game. After losing to Denver by one point in game two, they beat the Clippers by 8 on a back-to-back.
