After entering halftime trailing by four, a strong 3rd quarter led the Suns to their 4th straight win. While the Trail Blazers made things close down the stretch, cutting down a once 26-point deficit to just two with less than a minute remaining, the Suns ultimately escaped, allowing them to remain undefeated at home this season.
Grayson Allen off the bench scored 18 points on 4-7 shooting from deep. This came after a combined 2-10 shooting performance over the last two games. His 18 points on Saturday were more than his combined point total entering the night.
Though it was not necessarily a good shooting night from Devin Booker, he led the Suns in points with 28.
Phoenix shot a whopping 52 three pointers, underlining Budenholzer’s goal for Phoenix’s offense.
Fans across social media reacted relatively positively following the win, even if it was not very pretty.
