Suns Defeat Wizards 130-123 in Thriller

In a thrilling matchup, Devin Booker scored 37 points, and Kevin Durant added 23, leading the Phoenix Suns to a 130-123 victory over the Washington Wizards. The Suns, who shot 51.8% from the field and 47.1% from three-point range, held a significant lead but nearly lost it as the Wizards mounted a late comeback, narrowing a 24-point deficit to just three points. Rookie Kyshawn George shone for Washington, scoring a season-high 24 points and hitting six three-pointers, but his team fell to their eighth consecutive loss. Grayson Allen contributed 21 points off the bench for the Suns, who improved to 20-20 overall. Despite their victory, concerns remain for Phoenix, as they have struggled to close out games effectively. The Suns will continue their road trip against the Detroit Pistons next, while the Wizards look to turn their fortunes around against the Golden State Warriors.
