Suns are playing their best defensive basketball when it matters most

You aren’t hearing the national media use these lazy excuses to describe the play of the Phoenix Suns anymore, are you? Many dismissed the Suns and their regular season record of 51-21, the second best in the league, as the postseason began. Sure, they were a number two seed, but they would be their first ever non-favored two seed entering a first round series.
Phoenix is 5-0 in their last 5 games and 6-2 thus far in the playoffs. They have held the opposing team to under 100 points on four different occasions (50% of their games). They did that a total of 15 times during the regular season (21%).
