Will the Suns’ dominant ways follow them into the playoffs?

The Phoenix Suns were the most consistent team in the Western Conference this season. Even when Chris Paul was injured, this team didn’t miss much of a beat. Devin Booker appears to have taken another step in his progression and Chris Paul is still a highly impactful player.

Deandre Ayton appears to be solidifying the max extension that he wants and this team’s supporting cast is really good, even though it may not get the proper recognition that it should be getting.

The big question is whether all those factors will follow the Suns into the playoffs. If so, this is a team that should be a heavy favorite to come out of the Western Conference.
