As a team, the Suns started 2-13 shooting, and without Kevin Durant, they needed somebody to step up and provide a spark.

That player, was Bol Bol.

Despite not playing meaningful minutes for nearly a month, Bol Bol immediately made an impact when he was subbed in early in the 2nd quarter.

All it took was a thunderous dunk to bring the crowd inside the Footprint Center to their feet. From there, Bol fed off the energy and he began one of his best stretches of his career.

In just 8 minutes on the court, Bol Bol led the Suns to a 14-0 run by scoring 5 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and assisting Josh Okogie on a fastbreak layup.

For reference, Bol has only scored 6 points all season.

At halftime, the Suns lead the Trail Blazers 55-47.
