For the Suns, Kevin Durant led the fight with 29 points. Devin Booker added 28 points and Jusuf Nurkic tallied 21 points. With the loss, the Phoenix Suns couldn’t help their record deteriorating to 13-12.

Besides statistics, records, and the Brunson blitzkrieg, the injured lineup of the Suns is in the discussion again.

Bradley Beal hit his heel again and twisted his ankle as he hit DiVincenzo’s foot while landing on the floor. He stayed in the game for some time and even went for a free throw before he left the game agitated. The foul was upgraded to flagrant 1 as the officials reexamined DiVinceenzo’s carelessly stepping under the feet of Beal. Now, his teammate, Drew Eubanks, is not happy.

“I felt like it kind of took the air out of the arena a little bit just because we just got him back”. He added, “We got off to a pretty decent start offensively and for him to twist his ankle bad, it’s a gut punch. We’ve had to do it the whole year, so we’ve just got to figure it out. I think our problems are bigger than who we don’t have out there. So we just got to shore that up in practice.”
