The Phoenix Suns did it. They brought us joy on Christmas Day, something we’ve not experienced in 15 years. A win against the Denver Nuggets, doing so by a score of 110-100, was the perfect nightcap to a day of quality NBA basketball. It feels nice typing those words out. With ratings down nationally and the Suns struggling locally, it’s been a while since we’ve felt good about the sport we love.
This is the best we’ve seen the Suns play in three weeks.

The Suns won the game by doing something we’ve seen them struggle without throughout the first two months of the season: effort on defense.
