| WHAT'S BREWING TODAY Tuesday, April 12 On Today's Scorecard Did You Know... |
| The NBA Play-In games start tonight with the two winners advancing onto the playoffs starting this weekend. According to Axios Sports, Eastern Conference teams went 226-224 against Western Conference teams, ending the West's streak of 13 straight seasons with a winning inter-conference record. In addition, ESPN notes the Suns' .780 win percentage (32-9 record) on the ROAD was better than every other team's HOME winning percentage this season. Phoenix is the second team in NBA history to achieve this feat, along with the Knicks in 1969-70, who went on to win the championship. To see more from our NBA Playoff Primer click here. |

| The Suns are trying to become the 15th team in league history to lose in the NBA Finals and then win the championship the following season. The last team to do so was the Warriors in 2016-17, who added Kevin Durant after their 73-win team fell short against the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the 2016 Finals. And should Phoenix make it back to the Finals, Chris Paul will be just one of seven players age 37 or older to start a Finals game since the NBA officially started tracking starting lineups in 1970-71, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Tim Duncan, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd, Karl Malone and David Robinson. |
