10 HRS AGO - Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports The Suns now have a 10-game home winning streak, and the second best record in the league The Phoenix Suns are only second team with 40 wins, and now stand at 40-15 on the season. They are riding a 10-game home winning streak after beating the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night, 122-114. With every win, the Suns are closer to that elusive playoff berth they’ve been hunting for a decade, and now sit just one win behind the Utah Jazz (41-14) for the best record in the whole league. The Suns 40-15 record is their best record after 55 games since the height of the Nash/Amare/Marion days (42-13 in 2007). In this one, the big three were big again. Devin Booker had 23 points and 4 assists, Chris Paul had 13 and 11 with 3 steals, and Deandre Ayton had a big big game with 26 points (10-11 FG, 6-6 FTs), 11 rebounds and a block. Off the bench, Jevon Carter was the player of the game with 13 points. But the game wasn’t a runaway, despite the Kings coming Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports Things constantly change in the NBA, yet narratives rarely do. It’s time to give Booker his due for the defensive progress he’s made. Let’s start this thing out with the guns blazing. I hereby declare that most defensive metrics are garbage, and anyone that uses them alone to make conclusions about individual players usually have an agenda they are pushing or leave out a lot of valuable information. There is an infinite amount of context and situational plays that can be left out in defensive metrics. More specifically, on a play-by-play basis. For example, player A could play incredible, perfect defense and force a near impossible shot, but the opponent makes it. Other times, player A can leave their opponent wide-open after a defensive breakdown and they simply miss the shot. Along with that, defensive rotations and/or measuring responsibilities is an impossible task to translate into numbers. There is no perfect way to measure defense, but Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Coaches love to say defense wins championships, and an analysis of the last 20 years of NBA champions backs them up. That bodes well for the Suns.        Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Tom Chambers’ mark of 27.17 points-per-game has stood for 31 seasons. The end of the Phoenix Suns’ regular season is in sight. We know that on the other side of the next 18 games is the postseason, a place we have not seen since Devin Booker was a 14 year-old kid. Booker joined this team and organization with hopes of getting making them relevant once again. It has been a long road for Booker to travel to reach his first postseason game with numerous speed bumps along the way. And numerous milestones as well. Devin Booker is rapidly cementing himself as one of the greatest players in the history of the Phoenix Suns. His scoring ability is smooth and efficient. His jumper is clean. His ability to post up players and exploit them in the post is rare for a guard his size. He makes tough shots look easy. Throughout his time in Phoenix has abused the record books. The list of accolades continues to grow each passing performance: The youngest Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Building to his game, Ayton is showing that he is the center piece to the Suns success. Suns center Deandre Ayton was running on coals from offense to defense and vice-versa. Not even testing the water he was ready to play a competitive team in the Miami Heat. During the last few games for the Phoenix Suns, Ayton has really let the game come to him and was able to show up when things started to tense up late in games. Remember when Ayton was benched in the fourth quarter earlier this year? It seems like a year ago. His play has taken a leap within the last few weeks. The base of his rim-running, put-back game is there, and now he is starting to build something big. Heat Game There is no better way to start the game than a “get that shit outa here” block within the first three minutes. Ayton was on the prowl early and looking to jump right in without testing the waters. The overbite on the free-throw line was out early for Ayton, and he Collapse
