Not only have the Suns won three straight, but they have beat three incredibly difficult opponents.
Phoenix Suns are dispatching other very good teams with total ease.
Appears as though all the offseason chatter predicting the Suns demise was extremely premature.
Shocking 😉

And tonight was the perfect opportunity to showcase the talent on the bench. While Booker struggled to shoot the ball consistently, key players stepped up.
