PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns are on a hot streak heading into their six-game road trip, and they may be bringing reinforcements along the way. Phoenix improved to 9-2 over its last 11 games behind a balanced scoring effort and sharp 3-point shooting in a lopsided 112-93 win over the Washington Wizards on Jan.

While a lot of what the Phoenix Suns have accomplished thus far has been about making up for limitations, it's a much taller wall to climb without Devin Booker and Jalen Green.

The team never really found its rhythm, physically or technically, in a bitter but logical loss.
