Game Recap: Suns fall to Wemby-less Spurs, 120-109

The Phoenix Suns dug themselves a hole early and weren’t able to climb out of it despite a strong effort in the 4th quarter.

That’s the thing about NBA games. They are 48 minutes long. Someone needs to relay that message to the Suns, because it’s been a constant theme for them to sleepwalk through several extended stretches of games.

There were some questionable coaching decisions combined with lackadaisical defensive rotations. It was just a rough night. Phoenix never once led in this one.
