Every season needs a turning point, especially those in which the talent is present but the production isn’t there. Phoenix has played like a two-wheel drive 2007 Dodge Ram that you decide to take out to the south side of the Estella Mountains in the hope that you’ll hike up to Hayes Pick. You get stuck in the deep sands on the journey, and the trip turns into one of survival rather than reaching the top of the mountain. Shoulda got the four-wheel drive model, eh?
On Tuesday night, the Phoenix Suns played in four-wheel drive mode in the fourth quarter and might have hit that turning point we’ve been waiting for in their season.
