The Phoenix Suns began the season with two noted “closers” in their starting backcourt, but stumbled out of the gates with a series of terrible fourth quarter performances and a disappointing 8-8 record.
Since then, the Suns have won six of their last seven games and now sit at 14-9, good for 4th overall in the rugged Western Conference — off to a faster start than any Suns team in a decade.
But between the 8-8 start and the 6-1 current run, they haven’t made any noticeable leaps in total ratings on offense, defense or net total.
