Phoenix Suns offense stays frozen in loss: By the Numbers

The Phoenix Suns spent their evening in chilly Colorado, and apparently couldn’t quite thaw out.

Suns’ President: Alex Len is quickly improving and a bright spot for the team

PHOENIX — For the second consecutive game, the Phoenix Suns rallied to overcome a double-digit deficit to win. For the second consecutive game, point guard Eric Bledsoe had a courtside seat to watch the come-from-behind victory. The bench, one would think, is not the vantage point for a player who just seven weeks earlier became […]

As expected, the Phoenix Suns have attempted a lot of three-point field goals early in the 2014-15 season. Unexpectedly, they’re not making a lot of them. The Suns are shooting an average of 25.9 treys per game, which ranks third in the league. Their .337 shooting percentage from long range ranks just 14th in the […]
