Phoenix Suns wilt under Atlanta Hawks' offensive explosion in 32-point loss
The game wasn't officially over.
Still had 8:02 left in the clock, but considering Phoenix was down 25 points in the second of a back-to-back at Atlanta after an overtime win at Cleveland in concluding a three-game road trip, Monty Williams took out the starters.
Yep. It was a wrap.
The Hawks tore through the NBA's fifth-rated defense in handing Phoenix its worst loss of the season, 135-103, Wednesday night.
With their five-game winning streak snapped, Phoenix (47-19) will return home to face New York on Friday before returning to the road for two games against the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors.
