Suns’ Practice Perspective: The ashes always come before the rise

I’m going to tell you a story about the beloved Golden State Warriors real quick. They have won 3 titles in the last 4 years and broke the NBA record for wins in a season in 2015-16 finishing the year 73-and-9. Before the greatest shooter known to mankind, Stephen Curry, was drafted to the Warriors, before his splash brother Klay Thompson joined him, before the team was constructed into the perfect blend of coaching, personalities and talent, it faced its struggles.

Just to provide some context, Golden State was 29-and-53 during the 2008-09 season, 26-and-56 the following year and improved by just 10 games the year after that.
