Heart-Stopping Finish: Suns Hold Off Blazers’ Late Surge
Another slow start leads to another Phoenix Suns victory, defeating the Portland Trail Blazers 103-97
It was closer than expected heading into the fourth quarter, but the Suns barely held on, benefiting from a few missed wide-open threes and shots around the rim by the Blazers.
Devin Booker led all scorers with 28 points and the big three combined for a total of 64 points. Hitting 17 total threes, the Suns turned things around just in time against a team at the bottom of the standings.
Grayson Allen came alive in the third quarter just when the Suns needed it, helping them build a 22-point lead after struggling in the first half, where they managed to hit only 10 shots from the field. The storyline for the Suns this season remains consistent, as they continue to start slowly but bring out their best in the second half.
