Phoenix Suns

The Suns lost their matchup with the Mavericks in the Luka Dončić Bowl, winning the game 97-91 thanks to Isaiah Canaan chipping in 17 points and Alex Len throwing down 14 points and 14 rebounds off the bench. The Suns took another hit in their quest for Dončić with a win over the Grizzlies, with former Grizzlies guard Troy Daniels knocking in a game-winner to give them a two-point victory. With three wins in their last five games, it’s like they are trying to win games for their interim head coach. They need to figure out what to do with Tyson Chandler, Alex Len and Greg Monroe. Rotating them in and out of games, with one inactive each game, doesn’t seem like the best way to utilize their talents.
