In what was a game that the Suns most likely should have lost, they pulled away with a 116-115 win over the Chicago Bulls in overtime.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The night started with the Suns jumping out to an early 20-point lead; however, an ugly second quarter resulted in Phoenix heading to halftime with the game all tied up.
In the second half, it was a game of streaks for both teams; the Suns would go on a quick 8-point run, then the Bulls would respond with one of their own.
While in the end the Suns did pull away with a win, after initially trailing by four with less than two minutes left in overtime, a whopping 22 turnovers by Phoenix was tough for fans to watch.
Some of these Suns turnovers are just unacceptable

The last minute has been quite an experience lol turnovers threatening to do the Suns in, but they've gotten some stops on the other end

Suns need to address their turnover problem.
Nassir Little and picks for TJ McConnell could be the solution.

Suns deserve to lose tbh, just nasty ball at the end of the 4th and way too many turnovers

I've ran the numbers, and the Suns would be doing a lot better if they didn't have 16 turnovers.

Bro the leads that they keep blowing is astonishing and the amount of turnovers are ridiculous. But for heavens sake refs, can the @Suns get a foul called

Surprisingly, it was not Kevin Durant who was the game’s leading scorer; instead, it was none other than Grayson Allen.
Allen was lights out from the three-point line, making 8 on 13 attempts, leading to a total of 26 points.
The last time Allen scored more than 26 points was during a 2022 playoff run with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Grayson Allen tonight:
26 PTS
8 REB (ties career-high)

Grayson Allen has made 7+ 3s in a regular season game as a Sun before Devin Booker
