- The Cavaliers piled up 56 points in the paint and recorded 31 assists on 48 field goals, reflecting crisp ball movement that repeatedly broke down the Suns’ defense.
- Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen combined for 32 points and 21 rebounds, while Phoenix’s Mark Williams and Oso Ighodaro managed just two points and nine boards.
- Devin Booker scored 32 points for the Suns and Dillon Brooks added 20 in the first half, but Phoenix couldn’t convert enough extra possessions despite 19 offensive rebounds.
- Jordan Goodwin grabbed 15 rebounds off the bench to set a Suns franchise record for a guard in that role, as Jordan Ott’s return to Cleveland ended with Phoenix heading home to face the Kings and the Cavs hosting the Nuggets next.
