The Phoenix Suns defeated the Washington Wizards 130-123 to improve to 20-20 on the season. Devin Booker led the Valley with 37 points, Durant chipped in 23, and Grayson Allen had 21. Ryan Dunn secured a new career-high with 18 points. The Valley is now 7-12 on the road.
While it looked like the team was cruising to an easy win up 21 heading into the fourth, the Wizards cut the lead to three in the final minutes, forcing Mike Budenholzer to play Devin Booker for extended minutes and put Kevin Durant back in the game after he was sitting earlier in the quarter.
