Phoenix Suns’ woes continue with 5th straight loss vs. Rockets

 


One of the greatest enigmas in sports is when you can visually see a team going through a funk. Yes, some teams lose a few games in a row, but others will lose a few games in a row.

That’s where the Phoenix Suns are at, as they dropped their fifth straight on Tuesday to the Houston Rockets 111-97.

For the third time in five games, it was an awful first half that was the root of it. The Suns trailed by 19 after scoring just 35 points. The energy, let alone any force, wasn’t there again, a necessity when Devin Booker (left hamstring tightness) is absent. They never led and were down 7-0 right away.

This game sets the standard for best examples of how desperately the Suns require another prominent ball-handler and scorer.
