The Suns opened the year the same way they ended it; against the Sacramento Kings. After winning their final two home games, the Suns traveled to Sacramento for their final matchup of the 2016-2017 season.

The offseason begins for Phoenix and although the record may not show it, the future is bright for the Suns. From Booker and T.J. Warren’s scoring, to Ulis and Alan William’s double-doubles, to the high-flying Chriss and Derrick Jones Jr., to the defense of Alex Len, to the playmaking of Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight and Dragan Bender, to the veteran leadership of Tyson Chandler, Leandro Barbosa and Jared Dudley, Suns fans have a lot to look forward to next season.
