La temporada de la NBA 1996–97 fue la temporada número 29 para los Phoenix Suns en la Asociación Nacional de Baloncesto . [1] Durante la temporada baja, los Suns adquirieron a Sam Cassell y Robert Horry de los Houston Rockets y firmaron al agente libre Rex Chapman . Sin embargo, el equipo tuvo problemas para perder sus primeros 13 juegos de la temporada, ya que Kevin Johnson se perdió los primeros doce juegos por una hernia. [2] Después de un comienzo 0-8, el entrenador en jefe Cotton Fitzsimmons fue reemplazado por el ex base de los Suns Danny Ainge, que llevó al equipo a un final de 40-34. En el camino, hubo muchos movimientos en la temporada, como el canje de Cassell, la estrella de segundo año Michael Finley y AC Green , a los Dallas Mavericks por el futuro guardia superestrella Jason Kidd , el centro de segundo año Loren Meyer y Tony Dumas , [3 ] y enviar a Horry junto con Joe Kleine a Los Angeles Lakers por el ex-alero de los Suns Cedric Ceballos y Rumeal Robinson , quien fue liberado a la agencia libre luego de una corta temporada con el equipo.

Fue una temporada que no se igualaría en términos de movimientos hasta que las temporadas 2014-15 y 2015-16 llegaron y se fueron. Aún así, los Suns terminaron cuartos en la División del Pacífico con un récord de 40-42.

No solo eso, sino que también serían el primer equipo en registrar una racha ganadora de más de 10 juegos después de registrar una racha de derrotas de más de 10 juegos a principios de la temporada, registrando una racha ganadora de 11 juegos entre marzo y abril. Johnson lideró a los Suns con 20.1 puntos, 9.3 asistencias y 1.5 robos por partido.
Como el séptimo sembrado en la Conferencia Oeste, los Suns se enfrentaron al segundo sembrado Seattle SuperSonics en la Primera Ronda de los playoffs de la Conferencia Oeste , perdiendo 2-3 en una serie muy disputada después de tomar una ventaja de 2-1 en la serie. Después de la temporada, Wesley Person fue cambiado a los Cleveland Cavaliers y Wayman Tisdale se retiró.

Playoffs
The Suns came into the playoffs as the seventh seed, facing the 1996 Western Conference champion Seattle SuperSonics in the first round. In game one, Rex Chapman set a playoff record with 9 three-pointers, finishing the game with 42 points and leading the Suns to a 106–101 upset in Seattle. The Sonics responded with a 44-point blowout in game two, evening the series 1–1. The Suns recovered at home in game three. After an early 15-point deficit, Wesley Person led the team to a comeback 110–103 victory with 29 points and 10 rebounds. The Suns had a chance to close the series at home in game four. Behind by eleven points in the final two minutes of regulation, the Suns cut to lead to two before fouling Detlef Schrempf with 5.4 seconds remaining. Schrempf would miss the second of two free throws, giving the Sonics a 107–104 lead. Rex Chapman would respond with a famous turnaround three-pointer to send the game into overtime. The Sonics would outscore the Suns 15–8 in extra time to gain a 122–115 victory. The Suns would head back to Seattle tied 2–2 for a deciding fifth game. The Suns turned to small ball, starting four guards (Jason Kidd, Kevin Johnson, Rex Chapman and Wesley Person) along with center Hot Rod Williams. The Sonics would dominate the first half, leading by 22 at the break. A third quarter rally would bring the lead to eight, and a Wesley Person three-pointer to open the fourth quarter brought the lead to just five. But the Sonics would go on a 19–7 run in the final six minutes to claim a 116–92 victory.
