The Phoenix Suns come to town riding a 7-game win streak. All 7 wins came after Bradley Beal re-injured his back, while the last 2 were without Kevin Durant. The win streak also includes 3 In-Season Tournament games, as Phoenix was able to grab the Western Conference wild-card spot. The Suns will travel to Los Angeles next week to face the Lakers in the IST quarterfinals.
Toronto’s In-Season Tournament ended with a whimper as they fell to the Brooklyn Nets last night (squandering an opportunity to eliminate the Celtics). The Raptors finished group play with a 1-3 record and now play the Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets next week.
