PHILADELPHIA – It was apparent that the back-to-back on Tuesday night after their matchup with the Nets last night had taken a toll on the Suns’ energy levels as they looked sluggish to begin their game against the 76ers. Phoenix didn’t get its first FG of the game until there were a little over seven minutes left in the first quarter. They became more physical as the first quarter went on, which was the catalyst to help Phoenix get back into it early on.
