Before last night’s win over the Miami Heat, the Phoenix Suns had an 11-50 record. They should use last night’s win with a new mindset. The losing streak sat at 17 games with 11 of those losses coming by double digits. This was never going to be a team that contended for the playoffs this year, but they are capable of more than this.
Having the worst record in the NBA has little advantage anymore for rebuilding teams. With the new draft lottery odds going into effect this year, having one of the three worst records is all that matters for getting the #1 pick.
