Phoenix Suns Stage Comeback Victory Against Washington Wizards
The Phoenix Suns secured a thrilling comeback victory against the Washington Wizards, triumphing with a final score of 112-108. The win marked the end of the Suns’ two-game losing streak, concluding their five-game homestand on a positive note.
Phoenix found themselves trailing by double digits for most of the game, with Washington dominating since the first quarter. However, the Suns mounted a remarkable 18-6 run in the fourth quarter, seizing their largest lead of eight points with about three minutes remaining.
Despite a challenging first half, Devin Booker came alive in the second, scoring 17 of his 27 points in the latter half and contributing significantly to Phoenix’s final surge. Klay Thompson added 28 points, while Andrew Wiggins provided 25 off the bench. Young talents Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga also made crucial plays down the stretch to secure the win.
For Washington, Daniel Gafford led with 26 points and 16 rebounds, while Kevin Durant contributed a game-high 28 points.
Despite the victory, the game was historic for Stephen Curry, who had a rare off night, going 2-of-12 from the field, and failing to make a three-pointer. This ended his NBA record streak of 268 consecutive games with a made three-pointer. However, Curry’s teammates stepped up, showcasing the depth and resilience of the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns now embark on a two-game road trip, starting with a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
