Game Preview: Phoenix looks to carry its defensive momentum into matchup with San Antonio
The Phoenix Suns (3-5) aim to extend their defensive surge as they host the 8-2 San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. Fresh off a sub‑100 point win over Houston, the Suns rank second in the league with 11 steals per game and hope that intensity will stifle Victor Wembanyama, who recently dropped 52 points, 24 rebounds and eight blocks in a narrow Spurs victory. With Suns forward Mark Williams out and Jordan Goodwin questionable, the key will be limiting Wembanyama’s impact while knocking down threes and securing rebounds.

As Henderson approaches the end of his rookie‑scale contract, the "golden halo" of his third‑overall 2023 pick fades, prompting questions about sunk‑cost fallacies and trade value. The author compares NBA trades to buying a used car, stressing that front offices need clear drawbacks or better returns before parting with a player.
