Following Friday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets, the Phoenix Suns are back in the win column.

The Memphis Grizzlies have been plagued with injury issues this season.

The Detroit Pistons are no longer the worst team in the NBA record-wise as they’ve been surpassed by the Washington Wizards.

The Phoenix Suns just finished their duel with the Charlotte Hornets, taking home a 107-96 victory.

After his team beat the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla explained his justification behind attempting to block a Royce O’Neale jumper during a stoppage of play late in the game.

One of the (very) few bright spots for the Atlanta Hawks this year has been the play of third-year power forward Jalen Johnson, who has blossomed into arguably the team’s second-best player this year behind only Trae Young.
