The Suns final home game of their 2nd worst season ever and 50th year of franchise history. Suns just want to finish this thing out so we can begin our ascent from the ashes in year 51. One of the few bright spots:
Go Suns!!!Jackson had 22 points, 11 rebounds and two steals in a 122-103 loss to New Orleans on Friday, his eighth straight game with at least 15 points and multiple steals. Michael Jordan (10, 1984) and Allen Iverson (nine, 1997) are the only other rookies with streaks of at least eight games in those categories, according to BasketballReference.com.
Jackson had scored at least 15 points in 12 straight games, joining Philadelphia's Joel Embiid as the only rookies to have such a streak in the last three seasons.
"Obviously I've come a long way, I think, and I just owe it all to being a student of the game and wanting to become better," Jackson said.
