The Phoenix Suns enter the home stretch of the regular season, post All-Star Weekend, 5th in the Western Conference with a record of 33-22 (18-11 at home, 15-11 on the road, 19-15 against the West). Per Tankathon the Suns have the toughest schedule remaining, through their final 27 games. Two games against Boston, as well as with Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Cleveland, Clippers, and Nuggets.
I asked Kevin Durant during All-Star Weekend about whether they speak on the strength of their schedule internally:
It’ll certainly test all that they’ve established through the first third of the season, allow them opportunities to see how they stack up against teams sure to be in the way, in some capacity, come April, May, and June, and also present them with film against the league’s bests — all presenting different styles of challenges, both at home and on the road.
