A game that left much more to be desired, saw the Phoenix Suns still handle their business nonetheless — and even do so in the clutch. Phoenix defeated the Washington Wizards on Sunday night in a tale of two halves. They’d put forth, statistically, by far their best showing in the half-court defensively over the last two weeks, and one of their better ones of the season.
The Wizards have averaged a half-court offensive rating of 98.1 on the season, the Suns held them to 90.8 and did so in a much more connected manner.
