Phoenix Suns is beating every team in the NBA enroute to their franchise-tying record 17-game win streak.
‘No loss November’ is what Devin Bookers captioned his latest Instagram post as they extend their winning streak to 17 games.
Twenty games into the season and the Suns are 17-3. The scorching hot Phoenix Suns shrugged off an early injury to Devin Booker to extend their winning streak to 17 games with a 104-96 victory over the pace-setting Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.
This was the much-anticipated showdown between the NBA's two best teams and they did not disappoint as Phoenix shut down Stephen Curry with a superb defensive effort.
Almost unbelievably, they were 11-9 after 20 games just last season, 9-11 two seasons ago and 4-16 the season before that. We have to go all the way back to 2004 to find a season start as good as this one and the Suns have never gotten off to a better start in their first 20 games. Even the legendary 1992-93 Suns team that also finished 62-20 and made it to the NBA Finals only started out 16-4.
Even with that hype on the matchup or the Suns’ run of victories, Suns head coach Monty Williams has said multiple times the last few days that the Suns don’t talk about the winning streak.
“It’s a natural thing to look at this game,” Williams said after their win against the Warriors. “And I’m not trying to downplay it, I just want to win … I’m sure there’s tons of buildup, and there should be. You look at our records, you look at how they’ve played … I’m ready to go. That’s all I’m thinking. I’m not really caught up in the hoopla of it all.”
Just a game before playing the Golden State Warriors, it was another mighty team that they took from the Eastern Conference. They impressively overwhelmed the Brooklyn Nets early, never trailing and leading by as much as 22. And the Suns did it inside Barclays Center against Nets coach Steve Nash, who was part of the Suns' longest win streak of 17 in the 2006-07 season.
This is a very interesting Phoenix Suns team and exciting to see where Booker and Chris Paul can take their winning streak this season.
