The Phoenix Suns needed a night that felt good. They got one.
Phoenix ran past the Los Angeles Clippers 133–110 on Tuesday, snapping its skid with a game powered by contributions up and down the roster. The Clippers have struggled this season, so this win doesn’t answer every question about the Suns. But after a rough stretch, a convincing win is still a win—and the way Phoenix got it gives fans something to build on.
The best part of the night came with Jordan Goodwin’s return. Back after managing a calf injury, Goodwin made an immediate impression: 18 points in just 14 minutes, hitting six of his seven three-point attempts. Every shot seemed to add energy to the building and to a Suns team that needed a spark.
And Goodwin wasn’t alone. Devin Booker scored 17 and handed out five assists. Luke Kennard added 14 points, Jalen Green scored 13, and Collin Gillespie supplied 12 points and eight assists. Khaman Maluach chipped in 11 points and seven rebounds. Phoenix had six players in double figures, with Ryan Dunn adding 10 points and eight rebounds.
That balance was the story. The Suns shot 55.7% from the field and 51.2% from three, while recording 32 assists. They also won the rebounding battle 49–37. Phoenix moved the ball, found open shooters and kept turning good possessions into points.
The Clippers opened with a brief lead, but Phoenix answered with a 29-point first quarter and built from there. The Suns outscored Los Angeles 70–47 across the second and third quarters, pushing the margin to as many as 32. The Clippers made a late push, but the game was already well in hand.
Let’s be honest: beating a struggling Clippers team doesn’t suddenly make the Suns a finished product. The next challenge is carrying this effort into tougher games and showing that the teamwork and energy can stick around. Still, a team that has been searching for answers got a useful one Tuesday: when the shots fall and the ball moves, Phoenix has enough contributors to change the feel of a game.
Goodwin’s return gave the night its spark. The shared scoring gave it substance. Now the Suns have a chance to turn one bright result into forward momentum.
