The Phoenix Suns gave their fans and supporters the experience of coming together and watching road games last season inside Footprint Center during their postseason run to the finals.

It got wild and crazy in there.

Since the Suns are having an even better year this season, they're bringing back the 'Road Game Rallies" starting April 8 when Phoenix plays its final road game of the regular season at Utah.

Tickets are $15 and are already on sale at Suns.com/RoadGameRallies

The Utah-Phoenix game is scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. tip on NBA TV.

Doors and concessions will open at 6 at the arena. Children under the age of two will receive free admission if they sit on their parent's lap and fans can park at Jefferson Street Garage on 1st Street and Jefferson for $10 while availability lasts.

The Suns (61-14) not only have the NBA's best record, they are an NBA-best 30-6 on the road this season. The 2015-16 Golden State Warriors went an NBA-record 34-7 in away games, setting the all-time mark for most victories in a season at 73.

So Phoenix will have to win their remaining five road games to break Golden State's historic 34-7 mark. The Suns begin a three-game road trip Wednesday at Golden State.

They follow that up Friday at Memphis and Sunday at Oklahoma City. Their final two road games are April 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers and April 8 versus Utah.

Phoenix has already locked up the No. 1 overall seed and is two wins shy of setting the franchise record for victories in a single season.

The Suns close out the 2021-22 regular season April 10 against Sacramento at home.
