The Phoenix Suns (24-18) are witnessing the emergence of their Big 3, as Kevin Durant’s 40-point performance led them to a 117-110 triumph over the Indiana Pacers (24-19), marking their fifth consecutive win.
Durant, alongside Devin Booker’s 26 points and Bradley Beal’s 25, showcased a dominant display, with the All-Star trio combining for 91 points for the second straight game.
Despite an 11-0 run by the Pacers that briefly gave them a 105-103 lead, Durant responded with a crucial 3-pointer, sealing the Suns’ victory.
Beal’s late baskets and Booker’s crucial steal in the final seconds secured Phoenix’s lead and the win.
Buddy Hield led the Pacers with 18 points, and Pascal Siakam, acquired from Toronto, contributed 15 points and seven assists. All-Star Tyrese Haliburton sat out due to a left hamstring strain.
The Suns’ Big 3, initially hindered by injuries, has found its rhythm in recent weeks, coinciding with the team’s current five-game winning streak.
