Suns Rally Behind Explosive Bench to Beat Clippers 133-110
The victory offers a short-term corrective that highlights Phoenix’s bench scoring and three-point accuracy as roster health leaves defensive steadiness in question.
Overview
- The Suns routed the Los Angeles Clippers 133-110 on Tuesday night, improving to 4-6 overall and 3-2 on their seven-game homestand.
- Jordan Goodwin returned from a calf issue and scored 18 points, making 6 of 7 three-pointers in 14 minutes after signing a three-year deal in the offseason.
- Phoenix sank 22 of 43 threes (about 51 percent) and had seven players score in double figures, with five of those scorers coming off the bench.
- Bright Spot: the reserves combined for a massive scoring lift that reportedly reached 81 points and helped Phoenix lead for 44 of the 48 minutes.
