Johnson tallied 23 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 18 rebounds and nine assists across 39 minutes in Friday's 110-103 win over the Suns.

Johnson filled up the box score Friday, topping 20 points while also recording game-high figures in rebounds and assists. The performance marked his third straight double-double and fourth in his past five outings.
