—– Devin Booker finished with 19 points, six rebounds, and five assists as the Phoenix Suns handed the Portland Trail Blazers their third-straight loss Tuesday night at Moda Center.<\/p>\n
Rough return to NBC for the Trail Blazers!<\/p>\n
The Portland Trail Blazers were hoping a return to Moda Center after a 1-4 road trip would provide a spark, but the Phoenix Suns had different ideas.<\/p>\n
Devin Booker finished with 19 points, six rebounds, and five assists and Collin Gillespie added 19 as the Phoenix Suns defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 127-110 Tuesday night at Moda Center.<\/p>\n
The Trail Blazers were already playing without Blake Wesley (Foot) and Matisse Thybulle (Thumb), and were without two of their other key players on Tuesday. Jrue Holiday missed his second-straight game with a sore calf and Jerami Grant was out due to an illness.<\/p>\n
As a result, Kris Murray was inserted into the starting lineup with Sidy Cissoko, Yang Hansen, and Caleb Love getting extended minutes.<\/p>\n
Portland (6-8) used an 8-0 run at the end of the first half to cut the deficit to just three at 64-61, but the Suns opened the third quarter on a 16-2 run to take control of the game. The Blazers had more turnovers (8) than field goals (5) in the quarter.<\/p>\n
The Suns had a 29-9 edge in fastbreak points.<\/p>\n
Up Next- The Trail Blazers play the second of a home back-to-back Wednesday night at Moda Center against the Chicago Bulls. The game is scheduled to tip off at 7:00 PM.<\/p>\n
