It was setting up to be a catastrophic night for the Phoenix Suns, as they trailed by as much as 16 points to the 4-20 Washington Wizards.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Already entering the night having lost six of their last eight games, even in the midst of a five-game homestand, fans were getting ready to call it a season.
While this may seem like an overreaction, boos were raining down at the Footprint Center as early as the 1st quarter.
It seemed as if the Suns came into the night thinking it would be a cakewalk win; from the opening tipoff, it was obvious that the effort was just not there.
Entering halftime, Phoenix had made just two threes on 19 attempts.
Here are some of the best reactions from social media following the Suns close win:

Only the Phoenix Suns could employee Devin Booker & Kevin Durant and somehow play unwatchable basketball.

Phoenix Suns are a dumpster fire but we also were looking rocky last year at this time. Beal, Bol, Watanabe, and Little gotta go
