Phoenix Suns took on the in-form Utah Jazz at home. The home side stepped on the court without Devin Booker to defend their home winning streak. The visitors put up a neck-to-neck performance until Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal pressed the gas late in the second half. KD and Beal put up 60 points together to take home a comfortable 129-115 win.

With that win, the Suns secured their home fortress without a loss in the last month. Currently, they are in the fifth seed with a three-game winning streak.

After losing to the Memphis Grizzlies on January 7th at Footprint Center, the Suns are yet to lose a home game. Kevin Durant plays a huge in saving two of games in the stretch.

Notably, in the game against the Sacramento Kings, the home side trailed by 22 points late in the fourth quarter. KD led a 32-8 comeback and stunned the Valley fans with the effort. Similarly, in the game against the Chicago Bulls. He double clutched and dropped a jump shot game winner to once again leave the home crowd in a frenzy.

Apart from defending the home court, the team also went rampant on the road. In their last 16 games, the Suns have won 13. During this insane run, KD and Devin Booker found themselves a spot in an elite club. D-Book and Durant went on a spree to drop 40 points by at least either of them in six consecutive games.

This feat allowed them to join the elite list comprising Kobe Bryant–Shaquille O’Neal and Michael Jordan–Scottie Pippen. Amid this stint, Bradley Beal didn’t just step away. He also averaged 18.4 points in the 10 games, with a high score of 43 against his former team, the Washington Wizards.

Let’s take a closer look at tonight’s game.

Suns close out without Devin Booker

Kevin Durant began the game with an explosive start dropping 19 points in the first quarter. Importantly, this start helped the team 19-point at one point. However, the Jazz pounced back and closed by a three-points deficit.

However, the late back-to-back 3s helped the Suns come back in the game. While KD and Beal took care of the offense, it was Grayson Allen, who distributed the ball. He recorded career high 14 assists to help the side to get those buckets.

On the other hand, Jusuf Nurkic, Drew Eubanks, and Eric Gordon put together 47 points from their ends to support the cause.
