Phoenix Suns secured an 11th straight win on Tuesday as they saw off the visiting Brooklyn Nets 121-111 in the NBA.
That is a result that has pleased head coach Monty Williams, who feels the fact they have a settled team has been key to their fine form this season.
The Suns lost out to Milwaukee Bucks in the Finals Series last season and they are 5/1 to go one better and win the NBA Championship outright this time around, while they are 11/4 to triumph in the Western Conference.
The Suns boast a league-best 41-9 overall record and appear on course to secure one of the top two seeds in the West, as they are three games ahead of closest rivals Golden State Warriors and seven-and-a-half clear of Memphis Grizzlies in third.

Williams has been in charge of Phoenix since 2019 and veteran point guard Chris Paul is in his second season with the team.
The likes of Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton have continued to improve, and Williams feels the fact they have a settled core of players, who know each other's games, has been key to their sensational season to date.
Speaking after the win over Brooklyn, he told Arizona Sports: "The poise in those moments but the experiences that we've had in the past probably help us in those moments.
"This group that we've had for the three years I've been here, they've been with me in those moments and now they've been with Chris [Paul] for two years. I think that helps."
The Suns are back in action on Thursday as they make the trip to Atlanta Hawks and the contest will be available on the Sports Live Streaming platform
