The Phoenix Suns still have 21 games left in the 2019-2020 season, but Saturday night’s loss to the lowly Golden State Warriors may have ended it for all intents and purposes, and moved their all-time Leap Day record to 2-3.
The Suns also continued their streak of having former players light them up, with Dragan Bender (of all people) scoring a season-high 13 points and grabbing another season-high nine rebounds. Marquese Chriss also nearly had a double-double with 11 points and nine rebounds himself.
The inexcusable loss comes just 17 days after a much more depleted version of the Suns handled this same Warriors squad with relative ease.
