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: 24
24. The number of points Gerald Green scored off the bench last night for the Suns, helping them best the Jazz 87-85. Green has a very efficient 10-17 from the field, including 3-5 from three-point range. Green’s performance was all the more important since no other Sun (outside of Brandan Wright) had a particularly good game. The playoff dream is still alive. Barely.
