The Phoenix Suns have been showing a remarkable performance this season. With a record of 33 wins and 24 losses, they've proven that they can hold their own on the court. Their recent game against the Houston Rockets on February 24th was a testament to their tenacity, even though it ended in a narrow defeat with a score of 110-114. Despite trailing behind, the Suns showcased an impressive defensive effort with 8 blocks and managed to steal the ball 10 times.


Their offensive play has been nothing short of aggressive; racking up points in paint stood out as one of their strengths. In that same game against Houston, they scored an impressive 48 points in paint out of their total score. This inside dominance is complemented by their ability to draw fouls and capitalize from the free-throw line where they shot at an efficient rate of 77 percent.

However, it's not just about scoring for PHX; distributing the ball effectively has also been key for them – evident from their solid assist count which stood at 23 during that game. This team-oriented approach will be crucial when facing DEN's formidable defense.


On February 23rd against Dallas Mavericks – another close encounter – PHX displayed resilience but ultimately fell short with a scoreline reading 113-123. They demonstrated proficiency from beyond the arc hitting an impressive rate of three-pointers at around forty-two percent accuracy which could prove pivotal if replicated against DEN.

But let’s not overlook what happened back home on February 15th when PHX hosted Detroit Pistons and emerged victorious with a commanding lead ending in a scoreline reading Phoenix's favor -116-100-. The home team dominated time leading by over forty-six minutes thanks largely due to bench contributions totaling fifty-two points indicating depth within roster capable stepping up when called upon.


The Nuggets will certainly pose challenges; however based upon recent performances there’s reason believe that PHX possesses firepower necessary overcome obstacles presented by Denver squad especially considering how well-rounded both ends floor have been for them lately.
