The way the Suns acquire their heaps of fouls can vary as much as the reasons the Suns are losing games.
Most of all, they foul on dribble drives but there also are calls on screens, perimeter pressure, post defense, help defense and transition defense.
The only consistency is whistles while they work. The Suns want to develop an aggressive defensive style. Until they get there, they are fouling at a pace higher than any NBA team since the 2005-06 season.
The Suns foul a league-high 25.7 times per game, which is Phoenix's highest average since the 1985-86 team set a franchise record with 27.
