After six months of trying to assemble rotations that work together over the course of a 48-minute game, Suns head coach Igor Kokoskov is finally seeing the first bits of sustained success on the court.
Lately, that has manifested itself in wins over three teams the playoff hunt just in the past seven days. First, the improbable win over the Miami Heat. Then the giddy back breaker over the Lakers. And now it’s closing out a season sweep of the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks.
On Monday night, the Suns overcame deficits of 16 points in the first half and 10 points late in the third quarter, forcing their will on the Bucks throughout to finally close the game on a 23-7 run.
