Phoenix Suns Analysis

The Phoenix Suns had their two-game win streak snapped by the Los Angeles Lakers in an in-season tournament game on Friday night. The loss dropped Phoenix to 4-5 for the season and two games behind the Warriors for the top spot in the Pacific Division. Despite leading for most of the game, the Suns fell apart in the fourth quarter and ultimately lost by seven points. Kevin Durant led the team in the loss with 38 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. Phoenix is ninth in rebounding and fifteenth in assists while ranking sixteenth in offense and twelfth in defense. Injury reports indicate Booker (calf) and Damion Lee (knee) are out, with no known timetables for return.

Evaluating the Phoenix Suns with Caution: New Pieces May Take Time to Come Together

The Suns' star talent has yet to come together, as Durant has been present the entire season while Booker and Beal have played only two of the nine games. Due to the new pieces in the rotation, it may take time for them to find a groove. Oklahoma City, on the other hand, has seen strong performances from its youth in support of Gilgeous-Alexander. The Suns appear to be the better team, though their performance needs to be evaluated with caution. Taking the Thunder in the contest may be the wiser decision.
