Despite losing in heart-breaking fashion on a Rudy Gay jumper as the shot clock expired to give the Spurs the 126-124 win, the Suns acquitted themselves admirably. The Spurs handed the Suns their league-worst 42nd loss of the season, but it definitely wasn’t one of their worst losses this season. The Suns, playing without three starters, put forth one of their best efforts of the season.
The Suns shot a season-high 60% from the field. Mikal Bridges had 17 points, making this the first time in his rookie season scoring 16 points or more in consecutive games, to go along with six rebounds, three assists and four steals while also playing the best defense on the team. Jamal Crawford had a season-high 22 points. Devin Booker tied a season-high with 38 points.
