Suns 120, Bulls 110: Late Run Keeps Top-Six Chase Alive

The result preserves Phoenix's path to a top-six seed ahead of Kevin Durant's return game in Phoenix.

Overview

  • Phoenix finished on an 11-2 burst Sunday to win 120-110 in Chicago, with Devin Booker scoring 30 and Jalen Green 25.
  • The victory moved the Suns to 43-35 and kept them in range of the Western Conference’s sixth seed, which would bypass the Play-In Tournament for teams seeded 7–10.
  • Chicago played short-handed without Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Matas Buzelis (illness) and dropped a seventh straight game as Tre Jones led the Bulls with 29 points.
  • Dillon Brooks picked up his 18th technical foul in the fourth quarter, and league rules call for a one-game suspension at that threshold, putting his availability for Tuesday in doubt.
  • Next up is Houston’s visit on Tuesday, which will be Kevin Durant’s first game in Phoenix since his offseason trade to the Rockets.
