After two straight disappointing losses, the Phoenix Suns responded with a commanding 133-115 win over the red-hot Minnesota Timberwolves.
In his first game back from injury, Devin Booker scored 31 points, which matched his counterpart Kevin Durant’s total.
The Suns are now just 1 game below .500 as they continue to progress towards a fully healthy squad.
Considering the ups and downs that this season has already brought, tonight’s win came as a refreshing reminder that the Suns are still one of, if not the best, teams in the NBA when they are mostly healthy.
Which was a reminder that many fans needed after the past week or so.
This win also snapped Phoenix’s four-game home losing streak.
Some of the best reactions on social media after the game:
The Suns just scored 76 points on 45 possessions in the first half – against the NBA's top defense.
