Before the game against the Hawks, the Suns had a pre-game huddle like any other team would, and typically all the players join in. Beal didn't, though, avoiding the team huddle. It seems the locker room chemistry is only getting worse, and having a star like Beal on the bench will certainly make that happen.

Coming off arguably their worst loss of the season Tuesday night to the 8-27 Charlotte Hornets, the Phoenix Suns (17-19) responded with a 123-115 win over the Atlanta Hawks (19-19). Phoenix got contributions from up and down the roster with five players scoring more than 15 points.
