Suns Blow 22-Point Fourth-Quarter Lead to Hawks, Shuffle Two-Way Spot Before Portland

Execution issues spur a two-way backcourt tweak before the Portland visit.

Overview

  • The Hawks won 124-122 after erasing a 22-point fourth-quarter deficit, snapping Phoenix’s five-game streak as Dillon Brooks scored 34 for the Suns and Onyeka Okongwu had 27 for Atlanta.
  • Atlanta poured in 47 points in the final period while Phoenix committed 17 turnovers, with late defensive lapses cited in the aftermath.
  • Grayson Allen remains out with a right quadriceps contusion and Jalen Green is sidelined by a right hamstring strain with a re-evaluation in four to six weeks.
  • Phoenix waived two-way rookie CJ Huntley and signed guard Jamaree Bouyea to a two-way contract, with Bouyea joining the team on the road.
  • The Suns (8-6) visit the Trail Blazers (6-7) at the Moda Center on Nov. 18, a quick chance to rebound in a game airing on NBC and Peacock.
