Light side balls: Phoenix Suns are 8-2 in their last 10 and whispering momentum for existence

Stack wins but you can. Phoenix Suns played a solid game last night against Los Angeles Clippers, a Western Conference enemy that is currently holding the sixth seed while Phoenix is ​​sitting in eighth. Suns controlled the game most of the night and even built a 13-point lead on a few occasions. They were up 103-90 before letting Clippers go on a 16-4 race in the fourth quarter, but they never surrendered the lead. In the end, they closed a quality team at home exactly as they needed.

The three-point shot was the lifeblood of Phoenix’s violation last night. Suns tied their season high with 22 made three-pointers in an exciting 111-109 win over Clippers. The outside shooting was a testimony to their ball movement and distance that shows how this team can thrive when they fire on all cylinders from deep.

It marks three straight wins for Suns and three wins over Los Angeles Clippers this season.

Momentum is a delicate beast, barely audible, a whisper in the wind. Talk too loudly about it and it is bursting. Fragile, like Marcus Aurelius’ patterns on the fleeting idea of ​​Rome. This is where Suns is right now: building, piece by piece, in close silence.

With the trade deadline that lurks like a predator in the dark, there is no story about this is Suns’ list that we see 10 days from now. Sure they’ve been partying with less competition, but don’t overlook the facts: 8-2 in their last 10 games. Wins are victories and you have to stack them. Right now, Phoenix is ​​doing just that.

Light side balls season

Nick Richards played so well against the wizards, it makes me want to bust a ‘lil rim.

Nick Richards, who made his name known, 19 rebounds, 20 points, his abilities have grown. Against the wizards he showed his power. Now to Bright Side Baller Awards in sight. In just four matches he has been a stud. Rises up and leaves defenders in the mud.

With that BSB he has passed Jusuf Nurkic on the season. However, do not tell Nurk.
