The Phoenix Suns will welcome the Philadelphia 76ers to Footprint Center for an NBA game on Saturday. The Phoenix Suns lost 135-127 in their last game over the Kings. Harrison Barnes scored 23 points and Keegan Murray finished with 13 points, including three 3-pointers in the win. Devin Booker finished with 32 points for the Suns (38-36). Terrence Ross scored a season-high 30 points off the bench and hit six 3-pointers.
“The bench played well,” Booker said. “They brought us back at the end of the third, too, when me and Chris went to the bench. Shoutout to the bench guys. They played unbelievably tonight. We didn’t have enough to finish it out.” Chris Paul had 15 points and 13 assists. Jock Landale finished with 17 points in the loss. “There’s a number of struggles,” Suns coach Monty Williams said.
“We got a bit unorganized in the third quarter. We just weren’t that great. … It’s obviously a tough loss when we were playing as well as we did in the first half.” Deandre Ayton (right hip contusion) and Kevin Durant (left ankle sprain) were ruled out before the game. … Booker received a technical foul with 8:35 left in the third quarter. … Paul received a technical minutes later, with 7:41 left in the third.
The Philadelphia 76ers on the other hand lost 120-112 against the Warriors in their last game. Philadelphia, which had won the last two matchups, made 10 of 17 shots to start the game but missed its first eight 3-point tries before Georges Niang connected at the 8:06 mark of the second quarter. Sixers coach Doc Rivers likes to get a round of golf in when visiting the Bay Area. He realizes how lucky he was to get to golf this trip — he played San Francisco Golf Club — given the recent crazy weather.
“I hear you guys had a tiny storm come in,” he cracked. 76ers: P.J. Tucker shot 0 for 5 and was held scoreless. … Rivers figures Harden might sit out against the Suns in Saturday’s back-to-back but could return at Denver on Monday night after missing his second straight game and third in four. … The Sixers are 18-8 against the Western Conference and 7-5 on the road. … F-C Jalen McDaniels also missed the game dealing with right hip soreness. He has been out the last two games and four of six.
