PREVIEW: The San Antonio Spurs arrive in Phoenix riding an undefeated 5-0 start, the franchise's best opening in its 59-year history. De'Aaron Fox remains sidelined, yet San Antonio has flourished through dominant wing play and the emerging brilliance of Victor Wembanyama, who has anchored a young squad committed to defensive intensity and clear offensive principles. Defensively, the Spurs rank fifth in limiting attacking rim attempts while maintaining the third-ranked pace in the league, showcasing a measured approach that limits their opponent's opportunities. Though winning on the road presents challenges, San Antonio should enter with legitimate confidence to extend their franchise-best start further. The Phoenix Suns enter at 2-4, struggling early but ranked third in three-point shooting frequency while attempting to force turnovers at the fifth-best rate defensively. Devin Booker continues his offensive assault, shooting efficiently while averaging 30 points nightly, yet Phoenix has managed only one win in his last four 30-point performances despite his relentless scoring. The Suns' offensive identity features low spacing and inefficient free-throw shooting, ranking near the bottom in both categories, which could compound their struggles against San Antonio's lockdown defense. With home court advantage and a desperate need to stabilize their season, the Suns will lean on their crowd while the Spurs aim to prove they can perform away from home in Western Conference play.
