Another slow start leads to another Phoenix Suns victory, defeating the Portland Trail Blazers 103-97
It was closer than expected heading into the fourth quarter, but the Suns barely held on, benefiting from a few missed wide-open threes and shots around the rim by the Blazers.
Devin Booker led all scorers with 28 points and the big three combined for a total of 64 points. Hitting 17 total threes, the Suns turned things around just in time against a team at the bottom of the standings.
Grayson Allen came alive in the third quarter just when the Suns needed it, helping them build a 22-point lead after struggling in the first half, where they managed to hit only 10 shots from the field.
