Suns set franchise mark for consecutive wins at 18 straight
After falling two wins shy of winning an NBA title, the Phoenix Suns haven’t experienced any lull this season.
The Suns have picked up where they left off and taken it to another level by racing out to the league’s best record. Phoenix has accomplished that behind a franchise-record 18-game winning streak.

The Suns reached that mark on Thursday night after beating the Detroit Pistons, 114-103. Following the contest, head coach Monty Williams aired his gratitude toward his team’s stellar play over the last few weeks.
“But it is really cool to be a part of something like that,” Williams said via ESPN. “To win like this, the way we’ve won, guys out of the rotation, losing [Devin Booker to injury], the relentless attitude of our team, the way we stick together, it makes it really cool.
“Obviously it’s hard to win in this league. But we’re not satisfied. We talk about stretching it out but it takes the right things to do that. So we’ve taken it one game at a time.”
The Suns have looked every bit the part of an NBA title contender, as their group is building off last season’s success. Chris Paul continues to be the piece that anchors their success behind his steady play and leadership.

It’s certainly a promising start, but it’s only been just over a quarter of the regular season. Phoenix has demonstrated they possess what it takes to make another deep playoff push. The only concerning factor will be health as that will may be the deciding factor for their championship aspirations.
