Bright Side Wonders, Vol 7: The Suns have a win streak

Holden Sherman highlights the Phoenix Suns generating momentum with their first win streak of the season following a 1-5 start. Phoenix split their four-game week by winning the final two contests, which included their first victory over Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets since trading him. The Suns secured the win by withstanding a blown 19-point lead and holding Durant and Alperen Sengun under 36% shooting.

Sherman attributes recent improvements to inserting Oso Ighodaro into the starting lineup over Khaman Maluach, noting an improved net rating. However, the writer notes ongoing offensive concerns regarding Dillon Brooks taking fewer shots despite high efficiency. Phoenix now prepares for a four-game homestand against the Spurs, Clippers, Hornets, and Lakers.
