Don’t look now but the Phoenix Suns are playing like one of the best teams in the Western Conference.
They have already blasted the Kings, Clippers and Warriors by a combined 48 points, and have a +46-point differential in five games, equal to +9.2 average scoring margin good for 4th-best in the league.
On Wednesday night, they rocketed out to a 43-14 lead on the struggling Warriors — the second-largest one-quarter margin by a visiting team in the shot-clock era — in the first quarter which included a 30-1 run, and then could afford to lose focus for most of the rest of the game before locking it down at the end.
