Several of the Suns staff and players complained about the free throw disparity between the two teams as Indiana outshot the Suns 41 to 18 in that regard. But in the end, that wasn’t why the lost.
When I write stories about the history of the Suns, my first resource is a Suns Media Guide that in one section provides the final score – among other things – to every game in franchise history. When flipping through, final scores look as they are: brief, cold, snapshots of games past, offering no narrative other than did they win, or did they lose.
