Throughout the Phoenix Suns’ history, the number 62 has been a sacred number. It is a number that generations of Suns fans associate with their favorite iterations of Suns’ teams as it represents the pinnacle of basketball in the Valley of the Sun. It is the highest number of wins that any Suns’ team has ever achieved in the regular season.
It is a number that, prior to last Wednesday night, had only been achieved twice in the 53-year history of the organization. The Barkley Era Suns of 1992-93. Seven Seconds or Less Suns of 2004-05.
