The Phoenix Suns nearly blew it, but came away with the victory.
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have been on both ends of coming behind from egregious leads while also fumbling a massive advantage to begin the 2024-25 season.
Phoenix avoided a late collapse to ultimately defeat Portland 103-97 to improve to 5-1 on the season after leading by as much as 26 on the night.It was a poor start from both squads, who started a combined 3/19 shooting from the field. An 8-2 run by the Suns to close the first quarter out saw them push ahead 22-18 after the opening 12 minutes of play. Devin Booker led all scorers with six points.
However, that timeout proved to be vital, as Phoenix slowly saw their lead slip before entering halftime - trailing the Trail Blazers 47-43. The Suns made just 12 field goals in the first half despite Durant leading all scorers with 14.
