Phoenix might be figuring things out, one stop at a time
Need a little hope? Looking for something to give you those warm and fuzzies as you sip your morning coffee? The sugar and cream aren’t doing enough to brighten your day? Well, for all the ugly statistics we’ve been compiling about the Phoenix Suns lately, here’s one that might make that coffee taste a little sweeter.
Through the first six games of the regular season, Phoenix ranked dead last in the NBA in defensive rating, surrendering a staggering 124.5 points per 100 possessions. It was an atrocious start, one that had us questioning whether this team possessed the personnel, discipline, or defensive identity necessary to compete night in and night out.
