Suns need Okogie heroics to finally close out a tight win
When the Phoenix Suns (38-32) won by three points on Thursday night with a game-saving block by Josh Okogie in a 116-113 win over Orlando, it seemed like a long time since they’d won a super-close game like that right?
In fact, the last time the Suns won a game by three points or fewer was two months ago vs. the Memphis Grizzlies on January 22. Their 4-9 record in three-points-or-fewer games this year is the worst in the whole Western Conference. Those 9 losses they have are already the most in the West since the Pelicans amassed 10 in a season three years ago.
Okay Dave, don’t get it twisted with arbitrary stats. They just beat the Mavericks by 4 points a couple weeks ago!
