The Phoenix Suns have the best record in the league at the moment — the first team to five wins in either conference, against only one loss on the front end of last weekend’s back to back.
The Suns blew out to an 87-61 lead late in the third quarter when they drew Nikola Jokic’s 5th foul and the game seemed to be over. But of course it wasn’t.
Showing tired legs in the 4th, the shots began to fall short for the Suns. Trying to outlast the Nuggets, every possession became important down the stretch.
