The Phoenix Suns are getting another shot at hosting a Western Conference foe on national television this week.
That’s because the Suns’ home game on Thursday night against the Golden State Warriors has been moved to TNT, giving the team a chance to play Stephen Curry and company on a national network.
The Suns-Warriors game replaced the showdown between the Los Angeles Clippers and Miami Heat and follows the matchup of the Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets that night.
