After a home win over the Nets, the Suns have won 11 straight, which not only tied the second-longest winning streak in the league this season, but also the second time the Suns have achieved such a long winning streak this season. The Suns' longest 18-game winning streak this season also set a new team record.
In the last game, the Suns managed to win their 40th game while winning 10 consecutive games, becoming the first team to win 40 games this season, and after beating the Nets to win 11 consecutive games, the Suns played the best record in the team's pre-history 50 games, reaching 41 wins and 9 losses.
After winning more than 40 games, the Suns have lost less than 10 games, and are the only team in the league that has lost in single digits, which is also fully in line with Zen's theory of winning the championship: before losing 20 games, get 40 wins. While that doesn't mean the Suns will necessarily win, it does at least mean that they have a lot of hope of winning the title, and the Suns have reached the Finals last season.
In the past January, because of 11 consecutive wins, the Suns' record was also very good, reaching 13 wins and 1 loss, also leading the league, but unfortunately, the Suns recorded so well, but no player became the best of the month.
In terms of personal performance, Both Booker and Paul deserve the best of the month. Booker averaged 28 points, six rebounds and four assists per game in January and hasn't missed a game. Paul also averaged 16 points, 12 assists and 5 rebounds per game in January, and although the number of points is not too high, the number of assists is very high.
Of course, compared to the other monthly best contenders, Paul and Booker's stats are not so luxurious. The player of the month was Jokic, who averaged 26.6 points, 13.3 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game, although he beat Booker and Paul in stats, and the Nuggets record was not bad, reaching 11-5.
Neither Paul nor Booker were able to become the best of the month, arguably being held back by each other, because the Suns are a typical duo team, and both core players are important and indispensable, and without either of them, the Suns cannot play in such a highlight performance. It is also because Paul and Booker did it together, so separately, they are not so prominent, so they do not have much advantage in the competition for individual awards.
It was the same in the previous all-star start competition, although the Suns recorded first in the league, but Booker and Paul both missed the All-Star start. If Booker and Paul are one, then there is no doubt that they will be selected as an All-Star starter and become the player of the month, and even the MVP will lose suspense, but unfortunately they are two people and cannot be integrated, so the possibility of Booker and Paul becoming MVP is not very likely, even if the Suns have the best record.
