It is the year 2020 and the Phoenix Suns have a winning record in +20-point margins in a season for only the second time in a decade.
And with 35 games still to go, their 4-2 record in +20 margins — capped off by a 29-point win over the Mavericks on Tuesday night — includes the most +20 wins in a season since the last Western Conference Finals run.
Here’s the tale of the tape on +20-point margins:
- 2019-20: 4-2 (35 games to go)
- 2018-19: 2-20
- 2017-18: 1-17
- 2016-17: 3-5
- 2011-12: 4-4 (66 game season)
When the Suns are hot on offense, they’re tough to beat.
