Suns were an unexpected playoff team, then learned just how far they have to go

PHOENIX — Earlier this season, when the Phoenix Suns played their best basketball, coach Jordan Ott pointed out that when Devin Booker pulls up for a transition 3, you could feel the anticipation in the building.This happened Monday night in Game 4 of their Western Conference first-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Booker wasn’t in transition, but he was open in the corner. The star guard fired, and the shot looked so good, team owner Mat Ishbia, seated behind Booker, started to raise his arms in celebration.Advertisement
