Two victories in the last ten games. The December balance of the Phoenix Suns has blown up all the alarms and has gradually removed them from the fight for the Western Conference Playoffs . And 2020 has not started differently. Despite having recovered the pivot DeAndre Ayton and having all his great players in perfect condition, the Arizona franchise is not able to link wins regularly, and thus it is impossible to fight for the first eight places.
The last defeat has come at the Staples Center against Los Angeles Lakers (117-107). And he has done it, in addition, with fright for Ricky Rubio , who had to withdraw from the meeting in the last quarter due to some discomfort in the hip after a slip through the humidity of the parquet after a fall of Anthony Davis of the Lakers. The operators did not dry the track and the Spanish base finished on the ground in the next play. He had six points, nine assists and five rebounds. His partner Devin Booker scored 32, but it was insufficient to win in California. The Suns are left with a balance of thirteen wins and 21 losses, two of the San Antonio Spurs , which mark the eighth place that gives access to the Playoffs.
On the other side of the track, a new triple-double by LeBron James , the eighth of the season: 31 points, thirteen rebounds and twelve assists for the third consecutive victory of the Lakers, which total 27 wins and 7 losses and continue leading the West with three and a half games ahead of the Denver Nuggets. Anthony Davis achieved 26 points and 11 rebounds.
