NBA Standings 2012: Suns Move To 9th Place In West, Face Tough Schedule Ahead

As the Phoenix Suns continue to roll with their eighth victory in their last ten games against the Pistons Friday night, Steve Nash and Co. have moved themselves into the 9th seed in the Western Conference, trying their hardest to make it into the second season in 2012. Their 22-22 record leaves them only a game and a half behind the Houston Rockets for the 8th spot, who they just so happen to play Sunday evening.

The Suns schedule certainly isn't going to get any easier with meetings with Miami, Orlando, Indiana and the Los Angeles Clippers on their upcoming docket, up they luckily have this momentum to help them push towards the playoffs this season.
