The Wizards did not hold a lead for a single second of the game. In the 1st quarter, the Suns scored 42 points, jumping out to an early 14-point lead.

By the time halftime came around, Phoenix was on pace for 160 points. Beal entered the tunnel with 24, and as a team, the Suns were shooting at a 69% clip from the field.

Beal, who went 0-6 from deep on Friday, shot 4/5 from deep. If it were not for him getting subbed out in the 4th quarter, he would have been on his way for a 60-point game.

With their largest lead being 32 points, the Suns did not mess around for the entire 48 minutes. Knowing that they have the Bucks coming to town on Tuesday, Phoenix took care of business early, which allowed their starters to receive some extra rest.

Now heading back home after a 4-3 road trip, the Suns are looking ahead to the toughest remaining schedule in terms of opponents winning %.

Tipoff for their meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks will be at 8pm on Tuesday, inside Footprint Center.
