The Phoenix Suns have quietly embarked on an impressive 11-game winning streak, the longest in the NBA at the moment. They have taken care of business and defeated teams they were supposed to beat. The Suns started the season losing three of their first four games, but have won every match since then.
The Suns had abysmal defense to begin the season, especially from the perimeter. They were ranked 30th in three-pointers allowed and 20th in defensive rating. They are now third in defensive rating. So coach Monty Williams deserves his due credit.

Steve Kerr won his first Coach of the Year award in 2015-16 when he coached the Golden State Warriors to an NBA-record 73-9 season. He might win his second award this season.
The Warriors are first in offensive rating and points scored and second in points conceded and defensive rating. They have absolutely obliterated their opponents in third quarters, outscoring them by 124 points, the highest in the league by a margin of 74 points.
The Golden State Warriors are ranked first in a bevy of different categories in the NBA. That includes three-point shooting, assists rate, fast break points per game, eFG% (effective field goal), TS% (true shooting), among others.
Stephen Curry is the sweeping favorite for the MVP award this season, and the rest of the team is operating with incredible chemistry. They have defeated the LA Lakers, Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls in their first 16 games, and have a league-best 8-1 home record. They are leading the NBA with a 14-2 record and are projected to 65 games.
