The Suns Need to Find Their Offense
DALLAS — The Suns are headed back to Phoenix tied 2–2 with the Mavericks after dropping two straight in Dallas. The question is will their offense be where they left it?
There is going to be lots of focus on Phoenix’s defense after its Game 4 loss to the Mavs on Sunday. The Suns were gashed for 111 points, including a frankly comical 20-of-44 three-point shooting performance from Dallas. And yet, Phoenix’s offense is now arguably in more trouble after a nightmarish weekend. After posting offensive ratings of at least 130 in Games 1 and 2, the Suns’ are down to 107.1 over the last two games—which would have been fourth-worst among all teams in the regular season.
