This season, the Phoenix Suns have become one of the most unstoppable teams in the NBA after beating the Western Conference leader Golden State Warriors to achieve a 17-game winning streak, matching franchise record.

Considering they are hosting Eastern Conference bottom ranking Detroit Pistons on Thursday, setting a new record seems to be only a matter of time.

The Suns have made the NBA Finals three times so far but lost every series in 1976, 1993 and 2021.

Can they make a difference this time?
