The Suns come into the game fresh and scored the most points they have scored all season. Everything went according to plan against the Lakers on Tuesday as the Suns escaped with a 127-100 win. The win was a breath of fresh air for Phoenix as it ended its five-game losing streak.
The Suns can attribute much of their success to Devin Booker, who posted a double-double with 26 points and 10 assists.
The Suns worked as a unit and finished the game with 31 assists. This strong performance was nothing new for the team: they have now recorded at least 25 assists in four consecutive competitions.
Meanwhile, the Nets made the pundits look like idiots on Monday when the team pulled off a major upset at the Warriors. They defeated Golden State by a score of 128-120. The victory was all the more spectacular because Brooklyn was down 18 points with 7:13 left in the third quarter.
Among the leaders was Dennis Schröder, who was 10-for-18 en route to 31 points along with seven assists and five rebounds. He had some trouble finding his footing against the 76ers on Friday, so this was a step in the right direction.
