The Phoenix Suns secured a 133-119 victory over the Charlotte Hornets, marking their first back-to-back wins in over a month. Devin Booker led the Suns with an impressive 35-point performance, while the team showcased a balanced offense with four players contributing at least 21 points. Phoenix displayed remarkable shooting accuracy, going 46-of-74 from the field and connecting on 18-of-30 attempts from beyond the arc. Kevin Durant played a pivotal role with 21 points and 11 assists, and Jusuf Nurkic made significant contributions with 24 points and 15 rebounds. Eric Gordon came off the bench to score 21 points, achieving his second consecutive game with at least 21 points. Bradley Beal returned to the Suns’ lineup after being sidelined since December 15 due to an ankle sprain. Although Beal scored six points, he contributed seven of Phoenix’s 34 assists. The game marked only the third this season in which Beal, Booker, and Durant shared the court for the Suns, resulting in their first victory together. Phoenix’s offensive balance and efficient scoring paved the way for an almost wire-to-wire victory, with their lead extending to 20 points in the third quarter. Despite Terry Rozier’s efforts to rally the Hornets with 42 points and eight assists, it wasn’t enough to prevent their 10th consecutive loss. The Hornets now hold a 0-3 record at the midpoint of their six-game road trip. (With Reuters inputs)
