These two achievements of the Suns are unique in the league. First, at present, the Suns are the only team with the top five offensive and defensive efficiency in the league.

Due to a broken finger, Sun point guard Paul has been unable to play recently, but this has not affected the overall state of the Sun, and the team's momentum of hitting the regular season champion is still fierce.
Booker, who triggered the health and safety agreement not long ago, has returned to this movement. Faced with Butler's lack of enthusiasm, Booker led his teammates to a classic battle. Although the score didn't open in the first half, at the beginning of the second half, the Sun quickly established its lead with its fast offensive and defensive conversion and high hit rate, and finally defeated the Heat with a score of 2 1.
After this campaign, Sun's record rose to 53 wins 13 losses, with a winning percentage of 80.3%. Because the Timberwolves, who lead the seventh in the West, have won more than 16 games, and only 16 games are left in the regular season, they have decided not to play the playoffs and advance directly to the playoffs. The Suns are 8.5 wins ahead of the Grizzlies, who are second in the league, and are getting closer and closer to the regular season champion this season.
This season is very dominant.

Sun Gemini
However, even with such an excellent grandson, it is still not easy to continue to reach the finals and even win the championship. Let's take the playoffs as an example. There are not many teams that can compete with the Suns in the first round in the West, but there are many X factors that can influence the playoff situation. If Davis of the Lakers, Leonard and George of the Clippers and these players can all come back, the strength of the team will be greatly enhanced.
In the second round, Mavericks and Nuggets with MVP players may become opponents of the Suns, and in the division finals, the Suns need to beat the powerful Golden State Warriors or Memphis Grizzlies.
However, the American media are optimistic that the Sun can continue to enter the finals. They predicted that the probability of the Sun returning to the finals was 3 1%, which tied with the Warriors for the first place in the league.
The Suns decided to advance to the playoffs 65,438+06 games in advance. Previously, the Sun beat the Heat by 1 1-90. Booker, the core of the backcourt that triggered the alliance's health and safety agreement, ushered in a comeback, scoring 23 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists to help the Suns catch their opponents. After winning this game, the Sun's record came to 53 wins, 13 losses, ahead of schedule.
Not long ago, Paul missed the Suns' subsequent game because of a torn ligament in his finger. During this period, the Suns did not lose their competitiveness. According to relevant statistics, in the eight games that Paul missed, the Suns only lost three games. Under the leadership of role players such as Ayton and Booker, they still maintain good competitiveness.
After the baptism of last season's finals, the Sun really played more mature this season. It is true that Paul's composure is on the one hand, but the skills of other Suns players have been greatly improved, which also makes the team remain competitive this season.
Up to now, the Suns ranked first in the West and the league with a record of 53 wins 13 losses, 8.5 wins more than the second Grizzlies. Not surprisingly, after the regular season, they should be able to directly enter the playoffs as the first in the league. Whether it is the regional finals or the finals, the Suns will have absolute home advantage.
After that, the Suns won't meet a team that is too strong. Except for Warriors, Grizzlies and 76ers, other teams should not have much influence on them. Even if Paul has a high probability of reimbursement in the regular season, he should have a chance to keep the Suns in the finals after his return in the playoffs.
