Somehow the Phoenix Suns got down 36-9 in the first quarter of an NBA basketball game. The Kings had never led any game in the first quarter by 27 points since moving to Sacramento in 1985. Until now.
For the Suns, it’s only the fourth time in the last decade that ANY team has been down by 27 or more in the first quarter.
“I can’t remember, at any level that I coach and I played, that I lost first quarter by thirty,” Suns coach Igor Kokoskov — a former top level basketball player, NBA coach for 20 years and international coach for 10 — said after the game.
