Phoenix Suns Beat Spurs 117-98, Ryan Dunn Shines

The Phoenix Suns secured a vital 117-98 victory against the San Antonio Spurs, snapping an eight-game losing streak and marking only their second win in the last ten games. Rookie Ryan Dunn shone with a career-high 26 points and 11 rebounds, becoming the first Suns rookie to achieve at least 25 points, 10 rebounds, and four three-pointers in a game. Despite this win, the Suns (36-45) and Spurs (33-48) will both miss the postseason, with Phoenix failing to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The Suns rallied from a nine-point deficit in the second quarter, outscoring the Spurs significantly in the second half. Bradley Beal and Devin Booker also contributed with 21 and 18 points, respectively, while Julian Champagnie led San Antonio with 23 points. Both teams will play their final regular season games on Sunday.
