In the NBA regular season, the Suns lost to the Nuggets 111-133. After the game, Suns coach Jordan Ott was interviewed.

When talking about conceding 116, 129 and 133 points in the first three games, Ott said: "We must do better, there is no excuse. We must improve on the defensive end. This team is defensively aware at times, but we will lose our way. But we have only played three games now. The sample size of the game is still very small. It depends largely on who the opponent is. We have played against several teams with strong offensive capabilities. We will continue to observe and find better defensive methods and offensive methods, but no matter what the situation, there is a high probability that we will not win."
