After a slow start to the season, the Phoenix Suns have caught fire as they take an NBA-leading four-game winning streak into their Saturday matchup against the Washington Wizards.
This is the Suns longest winning streak since March of 2015 and much of the credit goes to their work on the defensive end of the court. They have won the last four games by an average margin of plus-11 points, outscoring opponents 111.3-100.3 and limiting opponents to just 41.3 percent from the field.
The first two wins of the streak came at home when the Suns held both the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves under 100 points.
