The Phoenix Suns bounced back from Monday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers with a 111-107 overtime win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
Deandre Ayton led the way with 28 points and 13 rebounds as Phoenix improved to 22-5. Chris Paul added 24 points and 14 assists, including the game-tying shot to force overtime.
The Suns remained without star shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring), who hasn’t played since Nov. 30. Ayton returned from a two-game absence caused by a non-COVID-19 illness.
Portland fell to 11-17 and its losing skid has now reached six games. Damian Lillard led the Blazers with 31 points and 10 assists.
