The Phoenix Suns continue to fight to lock down victories and the team’s evaluation, personality and standing continue to be moving targets

The Phoenix Suns rode a second consecutive Beast Ayton game in Houston, as Deandre sustained his early energy to put up 26 points and 17 rebounds in a 109-103 win at Houston on Wednesday night.

But cynics say, “Let’s see a month of that.” Just how good should we expect this team to be?

In the latest NBA.com power rankings, the Suns trail only the Lakers and Clippers among Western Conference teams, standing fifth overall, but the shaky fourth quarter close-outs appear to be the latest hurdle to overcome.
