Devin Booker poured in 33 points, including 20 in the first quarter, to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 129-102 win over the Sacramento Kings on Friday at Mortgage Matchup Center. Dillon Brooks added 18 points and Mark Williams finished with 15 points and nine rebounds as Phoenix built a commanding lead.
Collin Gillespie and Oso Ighodaro contributed 15 and 15 points, respectively, while Jamaree Bouyea scored 12 off the bench. The Suns held a 28-point advantage late, allowing Booker, Brooks, and Williams to sit out the fourth quarter.
Booker shot 13 of 21 from the field, including 6 of 7 from the free-throw line, but just 1 of 6 from three-point range. His 20-point first quarter was his highest-scoring frame since April 2024.
The Suns trailed 62-56 at halftime but opened a double-digit lead in the third quarter, extending it to as much as 18 points before entering the fourth with a 97-83 margin. Phoenix shot 56% overall, limiting Sacramento to 41% shooting and just 26% from beyond the arc.
Keegan Murray led the Kings with 23 points and 10 rebounds, while Russell Westbrook added 17 points and six assists. Keon Ellis scored 14, but the team struggled to contain Phoenix’s balanced attack, dropping its fourth consecutive game and sixth straight on the road.
Sacramento fell to 8-27, while the Suns improved to 20-14, winning five of six. Phoenix will host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, and Sacramento returns home to face Milwaukee.
