00:00Phoenix Suns fans, let's talk about our team. We have 28 wins.
00:05This season, if you ask any fan which of those 28 is their favorite, you'll hear all kinds of
00:10answers, but if we're being honest, I'd be willing to bet that none of you would choose
00:14Tuesday nights.
00:15106-102 victory over the Brooklyn Nets here at the Footprint Center.
00:20The Suns were extremely short-handed.
00:22Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Kyle.
00:25Colin Gillespie, and Isaiah Livers all missed the game with various injuries and illnesses.
00:30The game itself was tough to watch at times, featuring some sloppy play with 37
00:35combined turnovers and some officiating decisions that certainly raise questions, and let's be real.
00:40Any game against the Nets that's still up for grabs, in the final minute, is going to be
00:45nerve-wracking, but a win is a win.
00:48No excuses.
00:49No asterisks.
00:50This Phoenix Suns group just continues to find ways to win, when they're challenged.
00:55What's the latest challenge?
00:57They simply cannot buy a three-pointer.
01:00Right now, Phoenix went 5-for-20 from deep against Brooklyn.
01:04Think about that.
01:05In today's three-point crazed NBA, the Suns won a game putting up numbers.
01:10From behind the arc, that you might have seen, back in 1986.
01:15This is the first time since 2017 that Phoenix has won a game while making...
01:20five or fewer threes, over the last nine quarters of basketball, the...
01:25entire stretch since Devin Booker exited the Atlanta game with that ankle sprain.
01:30The team is shooting just 20% from three-point range, but just like the injury situation,
01:34this...
01:35shooting slump is temporary too.
01:37The Suns will be closer to full strength soon, with three...
01:40games left on this crucial homestand, Coach Frank Vogel's team just needs to keep their heads down.
01:45and keep inventing different ways to win games, something they've proven to be very good at all season.
01:50So, my question to you is, what has impressed you most about this team's ability...
01:55to grind out wins, under less than ideal circumstances.
