• OG Anunoby continued his career-best scoring streak with 32 points, including a perfect third quarter where he scored 19 points and hit five three-pointers.
• Jalen Brunson returned to the lineup after missing 15 games due to a sprained ankle, contributing 15 points and six assists in his first game back.
• Devin Booker led the struggling Suns with 40 points, but the team has now lost six straight games and is on the brink of missing the play-in tournament.
