Suns Cruise To Victory Against Spurs
The Phoenix Suns defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 133-95, at AT&T Center on Sunday afternoon.

In what was a one-sided game between one of the best teams in the Western Conference and one of the youngest, most inexperienced teams in the league, the Suns (16-7) didn’t have problems getting past the Spurs (6-17) in a contest that was already over as soon as it started. The Suns quickly established dominance and raced out to a 35-30 lead in the first quarter, but the second quarter would expose the best and worst qualities of both teams, as Phoenix limited the Spurs to just 11 points while scoring 36 of their own. Up by 30 points at the break, the second half wasn’t needed to find a winner, but the Spurs deserve credit for hanging with the Suns… or at least trying to. Phoenix also won the final two quarters, 35-30 and 27-24, and cruised to a victory in which the coaching staff allowed the deepest of the bench to see action. All but two players logged at least 14 minutes of action in this huge win.

Deandre Ayton led the way for the Suns with 25 points, 10 rebounds and three assists, while Devin Booker looked good in his role as the main playmaker and finished with 20 points and eight assists. Mikal Bridges also had 20 points and added four boards with three dimes, and Dario Saric recorded 17 points. Jock Landale had 12 points off the bench, and Landry Shamet finished with 10 points and three assists. Josh Okogie delivered nine points, 11 boards, five assists and three steals.

Keldon Johnson led the Spurs with 27 points and five rebounds, while Devin Vassell posted 14 points, five rebounds and four assists. Tre Jones finished with 10 points and three dimes, and Keita Bates-Diop notched 12 points. The Spurs only shot 19.4 percent from three-point range in this lopsided loss.
