Grayson Allen's Record 10 Threes Fuel Suns' Surge to Four Straight Wins

With Jalen Green sidelined by a hamstring strain, Phoenix is leaning on high-volume threes plus forced turnovers under first-year coach Jordan Ott.

Overview

  • On Nov. 10, Allen scored a career-high 42 points with a Suns-record 10-of-15 from three on 12-of-17 shooting in a 121-98 win over the Pelicans.
  • Phoenix improved to 7-5 with a 123-114 road win over the Mavericks on Nov. 12, its fourth straight victory, as Allen added 23 points on 4-of-9 from deep.
  • The Suns have won six of seven after a 1-4 start, ranking among the league leaders in threes made, attempts and percentage while also forcing a high volume of turnovers.
  • Fans delivered “M-V-P” chants during Allen’s record night, and coach Jordan Ott lauded his range and efficiency in a performance that included 17 third-quarter points.
  • Green is expected to miss roughly 4–6 weeks with a right hamstring strain, expanding Allen’s role as a full-time starter posting career-best early-season numbers.
