The script had flipped in Phoenix, at least for a moment in time over the last few weeks.
After snapping their franchise-record 17-game losing streak against the Miami Heat on Feb. 25, the Phoenix Suns continued to ride the momentum instead of letting it slip through their fingertips again.
Phoenix then rattled off wins soon thereafter against dominant teams like the Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors while also being the team to officially put the nail in the coffin of the Los Angeles Lakers’ playoff hopes after LeBron James turned on “Playoff Mode” early.
