The Suns on Wednesday lost for the fifth consecutive time. That’s their longest losing streak of the season, but that’s maybe not the most alarming detail over this recent, perhaps season-defining stretch.
This is: The Suns haven’t led over their last two games.
To be exact, they haven’t led since early in the third quarter of Saturday’s home loss to Denver, a stretch of 117 game minutes.
Two nights after Memphis led from tip to buzzer, the Los Angeles Clippers did the same, knocking off Phoenix 124-114 in a physical clash as Talking Stick Resort Arena.
