After losing to the Lakers, the Phoenix Suns lost again in a back-to-back game, this time to the King.
It was understandable.
The King were really strong this season, leading many in the media to exclaim that they had the look of a championship team.
Most importantly, it was a back-to-back, and a home-and-away one at that.
The constant travel was especially hard on veterans like Olajuwon.
Secondly, they were missing their assist king, after all.
J Kidd might look like he couldn't shoot, but he still averaged over ten points a game. He was also incredibly well-rounded, capable of playmaking and defending, which was a huge help to the team.
These two losses dropped the Phoenix Suns back to fifth in the West.
It was a testament to just how fierce the competition was in the West.
And Brian's earlier talk about seeking a trade to try and get the number one draft pick was clearly not just a joke.
