#SunsAtNets: 5 Things to Watch
1 / 6Before each game, Suns.com previews the action by drawing five key factors from an overall pool of 10: big men, guard play, key matchup, defense, shooting, injuries, styles, momentum, hot/cold hand and motivation. Setting the Stage Back on the winning track, the Suns are hoping to stay there. Their Wednesday win at Orlando – combined with Oklahoma City’s Thursday night loss to Portland – has them back within two games of the eighth and final playoff spot out West. The Nets are in an equally desperate fight for a postseason berth. Brookly trails eighth-place Charlotte by one game, and the seventh seed lays only a half-game farther out. Like the Suns, they have struggled since the All-Star break and have lost six of their last 10.
