A career-high 50 points from Jalen Brunson was more than enough to lead the New York Knicks to a commanding win over the Phoenix Suns.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Suns have now lost six of their last eight games and have slipped to just one game over .500.
Certainly, this was not the start that fans expected, given the through-the-roof expectations that were handed to Phoenix before the season began.
However, with injuries continuing to haunt the Suns left and right, plus a turnover flu that has seemingly infected the entire team, the Suns have an uphill battle to climb in order to get to where they want to be.
While it is still early in the season, fans expressed signs of panic after Phoenix’s defensive breakdown against the Knicks.
That’s all, folks!
Thank you for your support this season, Suns fans! pic.twitter.com/cZOHKGb6Ww

The Suns are running out of excuses.
Yes, the injuries are tough, but the team still has Devin Booker and Kevin Durant out there. There’s no excuse to be losing these games, in this fashion.
It’s been a nightmarish start to the season, to say the least.

I’m typically an optimistic fan.
Tonight, the haters were right. The Suns have no defense and cannot stay healthy.
I believe in them if healthy, but my belief in them actually being healthy when it matters is waning rapidly.
