Your Phoenix Suns are a contender again!
At the halfway point of the season, the Phoenix Suns have the league’s second-best record (24-11). Since working out the kinks of integrating a pair of All-Star ball handling guards, the Suns have won 16 of their last 19 games. They have a great defense, a pair of clutch closers and play the style of basketball that just wins games.
Now the second half starts, and these (mostly) young Suns will get their first exposure the pressure of playoff positioning.
“Games get a lot more intense when guys start jockeying for playoff position,” Chris Paul said of the upcoming schedule.
