Though 2019 wasn’t the greatest of years for the Phoenix Suns, there were some memorable moments in all the misery. Here’s a look at the five best from this year.
The Phoenix Suns struggled most prominently with one thing during the 2019 calendar year: winning games. In total, the Suns have won a grand total of 26 games over the second half of the dismal 2018-19 season and strong beginning of the 2019-20 season.

That being said, not all of those moments were bad, so to speak.
Guard Devin Booker is growing into a transcendent star in the league, while the Suns’ young core has been evolving into a capable looking roster. Deandre Ayton (minus the 25-game suspension) has turned heads and become the second fiddle to Booker on the court.
And for a team most recently coming off the second-worst record in the league, things have certainly looked better this season. The Suns came of the gates blazing, winning seven of their first 11 games and providing some hope for a fan base that has been in desperate need of it.
All in all, there were some special moments to be taken away from the past year. Let’s look back at the five most memorable moments from 2019 for the Suns.
