Suns coach Monty Williams has stated that his side needs some rest following their 114-97 defeat to Orlando Magic on November 12 which remains their last game.
 
“I think we obviously need to get some rest. This trip has been a weird trip for our guys. Traveling east kind of settled when we went to Minnesota," Williams said.
 
"Yesterday was a weird day just traveling all day with the hurricane. It just became try not to acknowledge but we all kind of felt it. 
 
"We got in the gym this morning to get us moving around but going to Miami would be a great win for us to go down there and re-establish the kind of basketball that’s typical and we’re known for playing.”
