Last season, the Phoenix Suns set a franchise record for wins and were the best team in the league during the regular season at (64-18). With the letdown of losing the 2021 NBA Finals to the Milwaukee Bucks, getting back to the Finals was the impetus of the Suns’ stellar season.

Unfortunately for Phoenix and their fans, the Suns’ record-setting season abruptly came to an end in the Western Conference Finals, thanks in large part to Luka Doncic’s 35 points and Spencer Dinwiddie, who exploded for 30 points off the bench in the Mavericks’ Game 7 victory.

The Suns became just the third team to win 64 or more games and not reach the Conference Finals. The other teams to do so were the 2006-07 Dallas Mavericks and the 2015-16 San Antonio Spurs.
