PHOENIX -- Life moves quickly in the NBA - the Phoenix Suns have learned that the hard way after dropping three consecutive contests in blowout fashion following a four-game win streak that had previously re-invigorated hope within the fanbase.

The Phoenix Suns have a critical offseason ahead. Phoenix is 35-41 this season and sits 11th in the Western Conference. The Suns are 1.5 games out from the final play-in spot, which the Sacramento Kings currently hold.

Jalen Green scored 33 points for Houston, and Phoenix star Kevin Durant left with an ankle injury in the Rockets’ 148-109 romp over the Suns on Sunday night.

Suns fans love Devin Booker with all of them and it's because the star guard wants to stick it out with the team through trying times.

Devin Booker last missed the playoffs in the 2019-20 season with Phoenix. He spoke candidly about where the team is now.

Booker supplied a game-high 39 points Tuesday, logging his 23rd game with at least 30 points in 70 regular-season appearances. The superstar also tied the game-high mark in assists en route to his 15th double-double on the season.
