Every morning after a Suns game, A Dry Heat brings you the Suns Stat of the Day – the number that sums up the previous day’s win or loss. Because numbers speak louder than words. Or a number speaks a 1000 words. Or something.
Suns Stat of the Day: 9
9. The number of losses the Suns have piled up in their last 10 games. Last night the defending champion Spurs were the perpetrators, putting a 107-91 beatdown on Phoenix. In fairness, the Suns were pretty shorthanded – Brandon Knight, Alex Len, and Brandan Wright all didn’t suit up. Eric Bledsoe (20 points, 4 boards, 10 assists) and Gerald Green (23 points, 4 boards) had strong games for Phoenix, but that’s about it. One more meaningless game to go and we can call it a wrap.
