Suns fall to Memphis

Phoenix Suns


The Phoenix Suns had quite the turnaround in 2013-14.

The Suns posted 47 wins this season after a dismal 2012-13 campaign. They needed 48.

Memphis beat the Suns in Phoenix last night 97-91 to garner the final playoff spot. Phoenix will head for Sacramento Wednesday and will play its final game of the season against the Kings. They can still get that 48th win and finish 48-34 on the year. Normally, 47 wins will get an NBA team into the playoffs, but not this year.  The Suns are the fifth team in the history of the NBA to win 47 games and not make the playoffs.

The Suns developed quite a chemistry this season with the play of Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe, Miles Plumlee and former Arizona Wildcat Channing Frye, but no playoffs again this year. The last time the Suns made the playoffs was in 2010.

Better luck next year, Suns!

Suns Update:  The Phoenix Suns end the season with a win over Sacramento. The final season tally for 2013-14: 48-34, 3rd in the Western Division.
