The Suns are officially on their longest winning streak of the season since November. Phoenix has won five in a row and still has yet to lose in games where Kevin Durant is healthy.

Deandre Ayton finally broke out of a semi-cold slump with a double-double. Ayton shot 8 of 12 for 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, it was his first double-double since March 13th.

Another kinda disjointed 2nd half as Phoenix tries to find a flow with Durant. Ayton looked best he's been since returning from injury.
Durant + Booker + Paul + Ayton: 92 points, 34-for-56 FG (61%); 28-for-39 (71.8%) inside the arc

The Suns now claim a full two-game lead over the Warriors for the fourth spot in the Western Conference.
Their next game will be on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs, it is just one of four games remaining for Phoenix.
Things have taken quite the 180 in the valley compared to where this team stood just two weeks ago, and fans absolutely love to see it.

Championships and all that stuff is great man but nothing is guaranteed. Right now I’m really just enjoying having Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul on my team bro.
So sick

Great win for the @Suns, proud of the players after a nearly disastrous result 2 days ago. Playing a team who love to foul bait as well, always going to be a tough game. If DA and Booker fully adjust to playing with KD, this team is scary.

Kevin Durant is 19-1 in his last 20 games. He’s 6-0 with the Suns. This dude is about to be the first player In NBA history to have a 55/40/90 season. He’s about to have the most efficient 30+ PPG season in history while playing elite defense. What a time to be alive
