The San Antonio Spurs (37 - 6) took care of business against the Phoenix Suns (13 - 31) on Thursday in a 117 - 89 win. This was a mismatch of epic proportions on paper and that ended up proving to be the case on the court. Not only have the Suns been the worst team in basketball over the last month, they have a myriad of injuries that left them with a no - name lineup on Thursday. San Antonio did what they do best here and stifled the Suns en route to an easy win. They held Phoenix to just 40 percent shooting and nearly doubled them in the turnover margin. The Spurs were unconscious from long distance tonight as well, as they went 9 - for - 14 in the game from three - point range. The San Antonio bench has been the best in the league all season and they were huge again here, as they outscored the Suns bench 66 - 24. The Spurs came into this game with an 11 - game winning streak and left with a simple win against a beleaguered Suns team. They were able to rest Tony Parker and Tim Duncan here and still took care of business thanks to a great team effort. An incredible 12 players scored at least five points tonight with Kawhi Leonard leading the bunch with 21 points of his own. Boban Marjanovic also had his best game of his young career, as he contributed 17 points and 13 rebounds in the victory. This marks San Antonio's fifth wire - to - wire win of the season as well, which is a great feat on its own. The Spurs get another easy matchup on Friday in their next game, when they take on the Los Angeles Lakers in the back end of a back - to - back set. It's tough for Phoenix to win any game right now, but for them to beat the Spurs with no healthy bodies is just a cruel task. The Suns were without Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight, Markieff Morris, Mirza Teletovic and Jon Leuer for this game and lost P.J. Tucker in the first quarter to an injury. That's just impossible to overcome, as the five starters tonight combined for 35 points per game for the season between all of them. Devin Booker has been the one bright spot in a dark season and he had another good game here, as he tallied 24 points and five assists in the loss. Alex Len also had a good game, as he totaled 13 points, eight rebounds and four assists in his first start in weeks. T.J. Warren has been the Suns best scorer at times this year and he gave the team a nice boost here with 18 points off the bench. Tyson Chandler has been a disappointment this season, but he snatched down 20 rebounds in one of his best games of the year. Up next for Phoenix is the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.
