It was NBA Trade Deadline Day, which is always an interesting night to have basketball games. Some rosters, to get better, send players out in deals. They can’t play for the team and neither can their incoming assets. So you go into it shorthanded, hoping your team can get a win.
That is what the Phoenix Suns did tonight against the Utah Jazz, as they entered down four players following the Suns’ three-way deal with the Brooklyn Nets and Memphis Grizzlies. No Yuta Watanabe, no Jordan Goodwin, no Keita Bates-Diop, and Chimezie Metu.
