The Phoenix Suns are amidst a six-game win streak and are amidst their most impactful defensive stretch in the half-court. There were plenty of instances that occurred priorly that compromised impressive leads they’d garnered over the course of individual games, which I’ve detailed.
I mentioned in the piece linked above, that time would simply do the team a solid in terms of helping them “iron out the kinks,” and establish chemistry.
Though the team was sans Durant, Beal, Eubanks, and Watanabe yesterday (in addition to Damion Lee), they showed a level of connectedness and trust defensively that I hinted at earlier would come together as the pieces compiled reps to ingratiate themselves.
