Meanwhile, Holmes continues to be so consistent on the glass and attacking defenders, which included a nasty black of Harry Giles at the rim.Both Oubre Jr. and Holmes were the main stars for the Suns on Tuesday night, but many others stepped up and played efficient games on both ends.At the end of their seven-game homestand, Phoenix finally notched a victory after a 5-2 east coast trip that had many thinking they finally turned the corner.

LOCKED ON SUNS 1/1/18: Suns fall to Sixers after valiant comeback attempt led by Booker, Warren, and Chriss: On today's episode of Locked On Suns, Evan and Brendon recap the Suns' 123-110 loss to Philadelphia. Even though it ended in a double-digit loss, the Suns erased an 18-point deficit to take the lead in the fourth quarter. Devin Booker, T.J. Warren, and Marquese Chriss were discussed after strong performances. After possibly the best 3-game stretch of his career, is this finally sustainable for Chriss? In the second half of the show, we discussed the draft's point guard crop. Names we touched on: Luka Doncic, Trae Young, Collin Sexton, and Trevon Duval. We both agree that Doncic is the best-case scenario while Young and Sexton are great fits, too. Also, we did a quick preview of the Suns-Hawks game and discussed why Dennis Schroder isn't a smart pairing next to Booker long-term if traded for. Learn more about your ad choices.
