The Portland Trail Blazers were overmatched by the veteran, star-laden Phoenix Suns on Monday night, mustering their usual spirited attack while watching another game slip through their fingers. Because of injuries and illnesses, Jerami Grant and Malcolm Brogdon were the only normal starters in play at the start of the game. Scoot Henderson did yeoman’s work at the point guard position, but nobody else could keep it together long enough to keep the Suns at bay.
Henderson scored 17 to lead the Blazers. Bradley Beal topped the Suns’ stat sheet with 21.
