Suns demonstrate improved connectivity in defeat against Denver

Writer John Voita observes that the Phoenix Suns displayed improved connectivity, team functionality, and resilience despite falling to the Denver Nuggets. Although Phoenix conceded 127 points in the loss and ended their NBA Cup hopes, Voita notes that the team showed progress and flowed better on both ends of the floor for the first time this season.

Denver capitalized on efficient outside shooting, with Jamal Murray and Christian Braun combining to shoot 7-of-9 from three-point range. Notable individual Phoenix performers included Miles Bridges with 24 points and 10 rebounds, Dillon Brooks with 22 points, Devin Booker scoring 20 points, and Collin Gillespie adding 16 points and 10 assists.
