Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks became the first Suns duo to each score at least 30 points in under 30 minutes in the same game, propelling Phoenix past the Indiana Pacers for a sixth consecutive win.
After a slow start, the Phoenix Suns are finally starting to heat up.
Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks were firing in all cylinders, leading to a dominant 133-98 dismissal of the reeling IndianaPacers for a sixth successive win on Friday, November 14 (PH time).
Despite missing starters Jalen Green (hamstring) and Nick Richards (knee), and losing Grayson Allen early to a right quad contusion, the Phoenix Suns powered through to their fifth dub in six outings at the Mortgage Matchup Center.
Booker took over in the third quarter, pouring in 16 of his team-high 33 points while finishing with seven assists and five rebounds in 29 minutes before sitting out the fourth.
Brooks, for his part, ignited the Suns’ early surge with 24 first-half points and capped the night with a season-high 32 in just 28 minutes.
Phoenix improved to 8–5, climbing to sixth place in the Western Conference.
Andrew Nembhard topped the Pacers with 21 points, complemented by 19 from reigning East Finals MVP Pascal Siakam.
Yet the team’s struggles continued after Aaron Nesmith left early with a leg injury, extending their losing streak to six games and slipping to a woeful 1-11 start.
The Suns aim for a sixth straight win when they face the Atlanta Hawks (7-5), while the Pacers hope to snap their losing streak against the Toronto Raptors (7-5).
