The Phoenix Suns have a few days off following the completion of the In-Season Tournament. Yes, just as Adam Silver planned, the Los Angeles Lakers won the inaugural IST, which gave it the validity and exposure that it wanted. Slow clap, slow clap.
With the downtime that the Suns are receiving, so too comes rest. Although they lost to the Sacramento Kings on Friday night, it was at home. Their next game isn’t until Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors — also at home — as a part of what is now a five-game home stand.
