Devin Booker carried the Phoenix Suns (10-6) to a 110-89 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies (3-12) in a riveting NBA In-Season Tournament game.
Booker’s season-high 40 points, along with Eric Gordon’s 20, played a pivotal role in securing the Suns’ sixth consecutive win.
Despite missing Kevin Durant due to right foot soreness, the Suns showcased their depth, with Jordan Goodwin and Grayson Allen contributing 14 points each.
Santi Aldama led the Grizzlies with 21 points, supported by Derrick Rose’s 17 and David Roddy’s 14, but Memphis couldn’t halt their three-game losing streak.
Phoenix’s victory left them with a 3-1 record in the tournament, trailing the Lakers by one game in West Group A.
The Suns now await the outcomes of other West teams to determine their qualification for the tournament wild-card spot.
Notably, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr., the Grizzlies’ leading scorers, struggled, combining for only 19 points.
