4-0 trip gives Phoenix Suns regulars time to freshen up

Here is an easy one: What is better for Goran Dragic and the Suns -- losing four games on a five-game road trip with Dragic playing 38.2 minutes per game or sweeping a four-game road trip with Dragic logging 31.5 minutes? The Suns survived four games in five nights by not taxing any one player extensively. Gerald Green, Channing Frye, P.J. Tucker and Dragic all averaged between 29.5 and 31.5 minutes during the trip while the fifth starter, Miles Plumlee, was at 22.5, right in line with what key reserves Markieff Morris (23.0) and Marcus Morris (21.5) got. The Suns were ready for a 36-19 first quarter at Indiana because they had not been exhausted on the previous night in Milwaukee, when 10 Suns played between 21 and 30 minutes.
