The Phoenix Suns have lost three consecutive games. That losing streak has seen the Suns fall below .500 on the season, and currently out of the postseason picture in the Western Conference. That’s got several of the Suns leaders feeling frustrated.
“We have guys that have won at a high level, that have high expectations,” Phoenix head coach Mike Budenholzer said about his team’s frustration level. “We gotta find ways to get better, so these are not easy times. But our guys will find a way through it, and we’ll find a way through it together.”
On a night where Bradley Beal was injured again, Devin Booker admitted that’s got the team frustrated and knowing they are missing opportunities.
“Frustration level’s high. We’re all competitors in here, and we realize these games are gonna cost us in the end of the season,” Booker said. “We wanna gain some ground, get up out of the play-in position and just win every possible game.”
Kevin Durant said the Suns simply have to play better, and that includes himself.
“I feel like I can do so much out there, I just feel like I gotta be better. And I feel like every player in the locker room got that same mentality,” Durant said. “So, we all look in the mirror, we’ll be a better team.”
