Head Coach Frank Vogel Expresses Suns' Intense Frustration Level

The Phoenix Suns stumbled out of the gate in their crucial home matchup against the LA Clippers on Tuesday, finding themselves in a daunting 37-10 deficit after the first quarter. Despite the urgency of the game for seeding, the Suns mounted a comeback effort in the second half. While Coach Frank Vogel refrained from disclosing his halftime address to the team, he acknowledged the prevailing frustration among his players.

The Phoenix Suns, banking on their revamped roster featuring the Big Three of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal, had aimed to dominate the Western Conference this season. However, under first-year coach Frank Vogel, they now find themselves navigating the final stretch of the 2023-24 season, hoping to avoid the play-in tournament.


Despite a promising 4-1 start to their last 10 games, the Suns stumbled against the New Orleans Pelicans, resulting in identical 46-32 records for both teams. With New Orleans gaining ground after recent wins, including Phoenix's setback against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Suns face the play-in scenario with just three games remaining.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks secured their position in the top five, offering them a comfortable buffer, while the Suns brace for critical matchups against the Clippers, Sacramento Kings, and Minnesota Timberwolves to close out the season.
