Eric Bledsoe finds rhythm, consistency in 2nd season with Suns
PHOENIX -- From a meticulously self-crafted "man of few words," anything within the neighborhood of declaration is welcome.
"I'm going to go home," Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe announced Wednesday night, "and sleep like a baby . . . I'll tell you that much."
This relative verbal salvo occurred shortly after a statement game during which he slapped 10 rebounds, six assists and three...

Suns schedule quirk hits a difficult stretch
PHOENIX -- Just when the Suns have seemingly hit their stride, things get difficult.
The quirk of what originally appeared to be a gift from the NBA schedule-makers isn't looking so generous in the Suns' push toward a playoff berth.

Road Reaction: Suns 110, Timberwolves 99
The Wolves came out and played a sound offensive game Friday at Talking Stick Resort Arena. They kept it close through part of the second half.
Heck, they even got back on defense for a change, limiting the Suns to just eight fast-break points.
But like so many games this season, anything Minnesota (6-32) did right was overshadowed by the final result. In front of 17,441 fans, the...

PHOENIX -- Brandan Wright made an NBA career by accepting who he is. This isn't about Wright dealing with an existential crisis as a basketball player. It's about him succeeding with a basic economics lesson.

On Friday against the Thunder, the Jazz forward took a sideline inbound pass with 0.2 seconds left on the shot clock, and with his back to the basket, tipped the ball over his head and into the net. The level of...
