nbaComing off a solid 5 game win streak the Phoenix Suns are ready host the Knicks, sending them home with 1st degree burns. Unless there is a complete breakdown in the desert, Phoenix will extend their streak right on over to the awful Timberwolves who last week fell to one of the highest scoring games in the season against the Suns. Regular NBA action is almost too single game digits. While the Suns sit safely in fifth place, there is still hope for them to take fourth with a long streak to end the season. We are playing the Jazz last game of the season, which will be a nice confidence booster if Phoenix takes them out early.

It is pretty insane but at the moment, there is a 3-way tie for second place in the Western Conference between the Mavs, Nuggets and Jazz. All are 6.5 NBA games behind the Lakers. The Suns sit a solid 1.5 games away from this action. With focus and a somewhat light NBA schedule for the next couple of games, the Suns need to light the fire and keep it blazing.
