We won't have to sit back and wait for anybody. The Suns, whose remaining opponents have a combined .557 winning percentage, are tied with the Timberwolves as the two playoff contenders with the toughest roads to postseason play. Minnesota, struggling as of late, currently sits in the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference, percentage points behind the Suns and, like Phoenix, two games ahead of the Rockets. The Rockets have only nine remaining games against opponents with winning records. Minnesota is losing.
Phoenix has a tough schedule.
This is a huge, huge game. Phoenix has also struggled of late. The Suns are coming off consecutive losses, falling to the Jazz in Utah and Sacramento in Phoenix. Maurice Taylor predicted. It's going to be a huge game, a great basketball environment.
