The Suns have now won five straight games inside Footprint Center.

In the 1st quarter, Kevin Durant led the Suns to an explosive start by contributing 19 points on 8-13 shooting. Beal also went 3-3 from deep, ending the quarter with 9 points.

Durant and Beal ended the night neck and neck, with KD finishing with 31 points and Beal finishing with 30 points.

While the Suns once-19-point lead did get cut down to just three points at one point in the 4th quarter, Phoenix answered with a pair of three-pointers.

Off the bench, Drew Eubanks played a large role. To go with 7 rebounds, Eubanks scored 12 points, stepping up when Jusuf Nurkic needed some rest. 12 points ties a scoring high since early November.

Notably, the Suns recorded a season high 37 assists, led by Grayson Allen who recorded a career-high 14.

Over the last 15 games, the Suns have picked up 12 wins, moving them closer to the wild top-4 race in the Western Conference.

Next up for Phoenix is a one-game road trip, where they will take on the Warriors on Saturday night.
