What happened

The NBA postseason is so close you can almost taste it.

Why it matters

These last few games are increasingly important for teams that have something to prove when the competition level steps up in the postseason and the Suns are a prime example of that.

Common ground

The Suns host the Rockets Tuesday night in the second game of the NBA on NBC doubleheader as they look to secure the seventh spot in the West standings and a home play-in game.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
