The Phoenix Suns enjoyed by far their most impressive win of the season on Sunday, as they beat the San Antonio Spurs 130-118. In doing so they handed the Spurs their first loss, managing to keep superstar Victor Wembanyama quiet in the process. The French phenom has rightly vaulted to the top of the list for MVP honors, but this was his worst display of the season.
The Suns holding "Wemby" to nine points and nine boards, while he also finished with a game rating of minus three. But how did a team that has been among the worst in defensive rating so far this season and was missing their captain on that end in Dillon Brooks manage to achieve this?
