The Phoenix Suns appear to truly be on the rise.
Sure, they faced a short-handed Dallas Mavericks team who only won three more games than Phoenix last season, but the Suns came out swinging, passing, shooting, and looking like they are a brand new team.
Igor Kokoskov called for Phoenix to shoot an average of 30 3’s a game this season. They averaged 27 last year, a franchise-high.
In one outing, they have pushed the average by 7 with an incredible shooting night against Dallas.
Phoenix shot 19-34 from beyond the arc, opening by the team’s most prolific 3-point shooter, and closed out by the team’s best.
