Suns Stretch Streak to Four With 115-101 Win as Wizards’ Run Ends

Hot shooting plus a decisive second‑chance margin highlighted Phoenix’s progress on a road trip.

Overview

  • Dillon Brooks scored 26 and Collin Gillespie 25, with Devin Booker adding 22, to lead Phoenix past Washington 115-101.
  • Phoenix hit 17 of 40 from three and owned a 20-9 edge on offensive rebounds, turning those into 26 second‑chance points to move to 19-13, six games over .500 for the first time this season.
  • Rookie Tre Johnson posted a career‑high 24 points for Washington as the Wizards fell short of a third straight victory for the first time since early February.
  • The Suns won without center Mark Williams, who served a one‑game NBA suspension stemming from an altercation with the Pelicans; Jose Alvarado received a two‑game suspension.
  • One night earlier, Washington secured its first back‑to‑back wins of the season by beating Memphis 116-112 behind Alex Sarr’s 20 points and six blocks, but Phoenix later held the rookie to two points.
