It was a storied rivalry. Maybe one of the most one-sided rivalries in sports history, but storied because... well, there’s been lots of stories on Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs matchups over the years.
This was not one of those deserving of a Jack McCallum book. Or a long editorial. Or even a puff piece.
But hey, this ended up being a kinda fun game, despite the awful basketball execution.
First, the Suns cut the Spurs lead to two late in the third. Then they tied the game with 4 minutes to go. They almost took the lead on a Josh Jackson leaner, but the shot clock had barely expired before he let it go.
