The Phoenix Suns have a serious problem, and that is outside just the overall health of the team. Their execution in the fourth quarter has been severely lacking, costing the outcomes of games with the most recent example being a loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Within this game against the youngest team in the league (at a staggering average of 23.14 years old per player), the Suns allowed the Thunder to score a game-high 31 points shooting a blazing 60% from the field.
Yes, that was just in the 4th quarter.
This simply cannot be the recipe for success, with the Suns having issues taking care of the ball being 3rd in the league with the most turnovers per game, and continuing this trend by adding four to their fourth-quarter total in Sunday’s matchup.
