Win number 22 of the season was not easy, but the Suns were able to secure it in overtime on the second of a back-to-back on the road in Portland. Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton elevated their play to another level to pull this one out.
Damian Lillard led the Blazers with 31 points and 10 assists on 11-of-31 shooting. Phoenix mostly did a good job of containing him and forcing him into tough shots.
