Last year’s Phoenix Suns team surprised the national landscape with a 7-4 start that began to fall off the rails due to nagging injury and suspension.
This year’s Phoenix Suns team roared out to a 6-2 start that has already begun to fall off the rails due to nagging injury and COVID safety protocols.
Both teams’ record was 7-4 after 11 games, and 8-7 after 15 games.
Both teams were pretty good in ret rating. A year ago after 15 games, the Suns ranked 13th in net rating with a plus-3.9 points per 100 possessions (roughly, a full game adjusted for teams’ varying pace).
