This Phoenix Suns' season began with the worst loss in franchise history. Wednesday, it got worse.
OK, technically, the Suns didn’t eclipse their record-setting loss to Portland on Oct. 18, a game that contributed to the firing of then-coach Earl Watson four days later. But their 129-81 thrashing by the San Antonio Spurs at Talking Stick Resort Arena was in a category of ugly all by itself.
If not for a Danuel House dunk off a Davon Reed lob pass with 6.2 seconds left, Phoenix would have lost by 50 points in its 50th anniversary year, sparing a “50 in 50” headline that would have lived in infamy.
