The Phoenix Suns (27-20) showcased their resurgence as the Big 3—Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal—led them to a convincing 118-105 victory over the slumping Miami Heat (24-23) with significant contribution from Eric Gordon. The Heat’s woes continue with their seventh consecutive loss, highlighting the Suns’ dominance.
Off the bench, Gordon’s 23 points, combined with Booker’s 22, Durant’s 20, and Beal’s 19 powered the Suns to their eighth win in the last 10 games. The trio of Booker, Durant, and Beal each recorded seven assists.
Jimmy Butler’s game-high 26 points for Miami couldn’t prevent their seventh straight defeat, dropping them to a precarious position in the play-in tournament range in the Eastern Conference.
Terry Rozier’s 21 points and Tyler Herro’s 17 were not enough for the struggling Heat, now three games behind Indiana for the sixth playoff spot.
