Watch NBA : Suns vs Hawks Live streaming, kick off time at 8:00 PM ET, January 15, 2010.
The Phoenix Suns have been struggling on the road for more than a month, and recently they’ve displayed an inability to protect leads.
Atlanta might not be the best place to remedy either of those troubles.
In a matchup pitting two of the league’s top offenses, the Suns will try to bounce back from their latest loss Friday night against a Hawks team seeking its fifth win in six games.
For more than a week, Phoenix (24-15) has been getting off to fast starts, only to see its intensity dissipate as the game progresses.
This trend started Jan. 5 at Sacramento, when the Suns led by 20 in the second quarter only to let the Kings rally and tie the score in the fourth. They ultimately pulled out a 113-109 victory.
A similar scenario has occurred in each game since.
The Suns blew all of a 16-point lead in a 118-110 win over Houston on Jan. 6, squandered a 20-point advantage in last Friday’s 109-105 loss to Miami and let a 24-point lead get away before rallying to beat Milwaukee 105-101 on Monday.
Phoenix was again unable to protect a 24-point lead Wednesday at Indiana, and wound up suffering a 122-114 loss.
