Due to a handful of injuries, it took a little longer than expected; however, the Phoenix Suns big three have set their first big milestone of the season.

Against the Orlando Magic on New Year’s Eve, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradly Beal all put up at least 20 points for the first time as teammates.

In their 4th full game together, it was obvious that things were starting to click.

Kevin Durant led the pack with 31 points. Behind him was Bradley Beal, with a season-high 25 points on 10-13 shooting. Booker finished with 21 points on 7-17 shooting.

While it can be looked at as a concern, the Suns starting 5 scored 106 of the 112 points, with Chimezie Metu scoring all 6 of the bench points. Eric Gordon, who played 30 minutes, took just three shots; he missed all of them.

The Suns will now enter the new year with a three-game winning streak and all the momentum needed to roll through their current six-game homestand.
