In the NBA, the race to the bottom of the standings is as hotly contested as the race to the top.

If Monday’s total solar eclipse wasn’t a reason for an avalanche of memes and puns about different players and teams, the Phoenix Suns took the definition of this phenomenon way too literally. As the moon aligns perfectly with the orbit of the Earth and the sun, completely blocking it for a short span of time, […]

The Phoenix Suns finished the 2016-17 campaign at the bottom of the Western Conference with a pathetic record of 24-58 — second worst in the NBA.
