PHOENIX – The Phoenix Suns failed to start a new winning streak on the second night of their meeting, falling to the Brooklyn Nets 127-117.

Devin Booker led all scorers with 31 points. Both teams shot over 50% from the field, although the Suns’ 17 turnovers ultimately doomed them.

Phoenix now falls to 10-8 this season.

Bradley Beal appeared to have injured his ankle in the closing stages of the game, but remained on the bench and did not immediately go to the locker room.

Six different Nets scored more than 10 points on the night, with Tyrese Martin (30) leading Brooklyn.

Short summary

It was a high-scoring first quarter for both sides as Phoenix led 37-34 after 12 minutes of play. The Suns made 12 of 16 field shots and led by as many as seven points in the quarter while every starter scored at least 3+ points.

The two teams battled into halftime with a score of 63-63, with Tyrese Martin and Devin Booker both having 17 points. After failing to take the lead at all in the first quarter, Brooklyn actually led by three in the second quarter.

Brooklyn quickly took control of the game, going on a 14-3 run after halftime before securing a 96-84 lead after the third quarter thanks to 20 points off 13 turnovers from Phoenix. At this point, both Martin (21) and Dennis Schröder (22) paved the way for the Nets’ offensive push. The Suns had just two offensive rebounds in three quarters.

The Nets maintained that momentum until the end of the fourth quarter, keeping their lead in double digits until the end and picking up their third win on their West Coast road trip.
