Coming off of a commanding 127-109 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Phoenix Suns had a golden opportunity to build momentum against a Portland Trail Blazers team missing eight total players tonight.
The Blazers were outscored by a combined 112 points over their last three contests, yet jumped out to an early seven-point lead in the first quarter.
Moses Brown (left wrist fracture), Shaedon Sharpe (adductor soreness) and Robert Williams III (right knee ligament tear) were already out

The Suns stormed back and looked like they would cruise to victory after a 40-28 second quarter, winning by as much as 17 in the third period.
