That was their 6th victory in the last seven matches. Phoenix is thereby consolidating its position among the best 8 in the west.

The new coach Jeff Hornacek, who is well known for being one of the best shooters of 3s, was pleased that his team managed to gather so many points. He said this was probably their best game in terms of their attack strategy. Phoenix hit seven 3s in the first en route to a 38-25 advantage after 12 minutes. Phoenix maintained a comfortable lead for a majority of the game.
