Phoenix Suns Bounce Back with Win, Eyeing Playoff Push

0:00It's March 3rd, here's your NBA news in two minutes. Subscribe to Stay Locked in all season. The Phoenix Suns have been dealing with big losses lately, missing their top scores Devin Booker and Dylan Brooks. Booker heard his hip, but is expected back in the line of tonight. Brooks fractured his hand and will sit out a few more weeks. Without them, the team has felt the hit on offense and defense. They still pulled off a thrilling win over the Lakers on Thursday thanks to Royce O'Neill's game-winning three-pointer, with less than a second left. That boosted their spirits heading into a break. NBA power rankings this week put them around 10th or 11th, holding steady despite the injuries. Coaches and analysts say the Suns are leaning on three-point shooting to make up for the missing firepower. Phoenix coach Jordan Ott stressed winning every possession, with or without the stars. The locker room gets it. They need postseason intensity right now. Looking ahead, the Suns face six straight games against teams with losing records, starting tonight. They are 19 and seven against that group this season, a great chance to build momentum.

1:04At 34 and 26 overall, they hold the seventh spot in the West. With Booker returning soon, they could climb higher and solidify their playoff push if they capitalize on this stretch. The Daily News Now is powered by our sponsor. Your pillow just got smarter.
