Suns' ugly slog continues in win vs. Bulls
Arizona Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Phoenix Suns narrowly defeated a depleted Chicago Bulls team 120-110, despite showing a lack of defensive effort and struggling with transition and on-ball defense throughout the game.
- Key injuries sidelined several Bulls players, including Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey, and Anfernee Simons, which impacted Chicago's competitiveness despite their late-game run.
- Phoenix made lineup changes by starting Jordan Goodwin, their best defender, and Mark Williams at center, but defensive lapses persisted even from Goodwin, indicating ongoing issues.
- The Suns, now 43-35 with four games left, are positioned well to clinch the seventh seed in the playoffs, needing just one or two wins depending on upcoming matchups and results from the Clippers and Trail Blazers.
- Individual struggles continued for Phoenix players like Jalen Green, who had multiple turnovers, and Rasheer Fleming, who was left out of the shortened rotation despite his energy and athleticism.
