Phoenix Suns' Should Take Offense To Their Defensive Shortcomings
Last in the league in defensive efficiency? Really? I know someone has to be last, but come on. This is ridiculous. Currently, the Suns are the league's worst defense, giving up 113.8 points per 100 possessions. Their defense is so bad it would make their offense look even better than it does each night (112 points per 100 possessions, 3rd overall).
