In their most recent loss at the hands of the Sacramento Kings, the Phoenix Suns were down as much as 29 points. Is that an insurmountable deficit to overcome? History says yes. Only eight teams in NBA history have ever rallied from a 30-point+ deficit to win a game.
We all knew the game was over. History would not be on our side. The Suns’ inability to make three-pointers, which is a “must do” if you want to overcome any deficit, strengthened this point of view. They just can’t hit shots from range right now.
