The Phoenix Suns beat the Los Angeles Clippers 133-110 on Tuesday night, hitting a season-high 22 three-pointers in a comfortable win at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix.

Jordan Goodwin led the Suns with 18 points in just 14 minutes off the bench, making six of his seven shots from three-point range in his return after missing four games with a right calf injury. Devin Booker added 17 points, three rebounds and five assists, while Luke Kennard scored a season-high 14 points, Jalen Green had 13 and Collin Gillespie added 12 points and eight assists.

Bench delivers 81 points

Phoenix shot 22 of 43 from beyond the arc, converting 51.2 per cent of its three-point attempts and beating its previous season high of 18. Seven Suns players reached double figures, including five from the bench, and the reserves combined for a season-high 81 points.

The Suns led 64-47 at half-time after Gillespie hit a three-pointer from 39 feet just before the buzzer, then opened the second half on a 22-9 run to lead 86-56. Their advantage peaked at 91-59 with four minutes left in the third quarter, and all five starters were rested in the fourth.

Response after San Antonio defeat

The win was Phoenix’s largest margin of victory this season and its third win in four games, a fast response to Monday’s 26-point loss to San Antonio. The Suns also won the rebounding battle 49-37 after outrebounding only one of their first nine opponents. They are now 3-2 on a season-long seven-game homestand and next host the Charlotte Hornets on 12 November.
