The Phoenix Suns have reached another low. Apart from dropping to 9-17 with a 126-113 road loss to the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday, the Suns were also held in check on the offensive glass. In fact, the Suns didn’t record an offensive rebound in that game. Nada. Nil. Zero. That’s what the official Twitter account of the Raptors media relations would like everybody to know.

Toronto, on the other hand, had eight offensive rebounds and finished the game with 42 total rebounds as against Phoenix’s 35.

This was quite a surprise, considering that the Suns have plenty of big men to counter the inside presence of Toronto’s frontline duo of Jonas Valanciunas and Serge Ibaka, but Greg Monroe, Tyson Chandler, and Alex Len were all simply rendered futile on the offensive glass. Plus, the Suns are fourth in the league in offensive rebounding with 11.3 per game.

It’s so rare for a team to finish a game without collaring at least a single offensive rebound that the last time it occurred was in 2002 (San Antonio Spurs) or second overall since the league started counting offensive rebounds in 1983.

Valanciunas led the Raptors with eight rebounds, while DeMar DeRozan and Ibaka had six apiece. Even Kyle Lowry had six rebounds.

Do better next time, Suns.
