Suns Defeat Nuggets 110-100 in Christmas Day Rematch

Phoenix bounces back from Monday's blowout loss with strong performances by Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, despite missing key players.

  • Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal each scored 27 points, leading the Suns to a 110-100 victory over the Nuggets on Christmas night in Phoenix.
  • The Suns were without Devin Booker (groin) and Grayson Allen (concussion protocol), yet managed to snap a three-game losing streak.
  • Nikola Jokic led Denver with 25 points and 15 rebounds but struggled after a strong first quarter, scoring just seven points in the second half.
  • Denver's offense faltered with 16 turnovers, and Aaron Gordon exited in the third quarter with calf tightness, further hampering the team.
  • Phoenix capitalized on Jokic's rest minutes late in the third and early in the fourth quarter, extending their lead to double digits and maintaining control to secure the win.
