The Phoenix Suns answered their worst loss of the season with their best shooting night of it. Jordan Goodwin came off the bench to hit six three-pointers, Devin Booker added 17 points, and the Suns beat the Clippers 133-110 on Tuesday night in Phoenix, setting a season high with 22 made three-pointers and winning by their largest margin of the season. Phoenix shot 51.2 percent from beyond the arc and led by as many as 32 points before resting all five starters for the entire fourth quarter.
The rout was a fast response to Monday’s 26-point loss to San Antonio. The win was Phoenix’s third in four games.
Phoenix ran away from the Clippers early and never let them back into the game. The Suns closed the first quarter on a 13-0 run, sparked by a pair of three-pointers from Collin Gillespie and one from Jordan Goodwin, to take a 29-18 lead into the second quarter.
Goodwin did most of his damage in the second quarter, scoring 12 of his 18 first-half points in the period, including three-pointers on two consecutive possessions midway through the quarter to help Phoenix open a 48-31 lead. The Suns made 11 of 22 shots from distance in the first half, eight in the second quarter, and Gillespie’s three-pointer with two-tenths of a second remaining sent Phoenix into halftime ahead 64-47.
Booker, Green and Miles Bridges each hit two three-pointers early in the third as the Suns opened the second half on a 22-9 surge for an 86-56 edge. A Brooks jumper made it 91-59, the largest lead of the night, and Goodwin’s sixth three made it 99-69 late in the period. Phoenix rested all five starters in the fourth and still closed out the 133-110 win.
The win landed less than 24 hours after one of the Suns’ worst nights of the season. Phoenix had lost by 26 points to San Antonio on Monday, and Tuesday’s answer could hardly have been more complete: the largest margin of victory of the season, a season high in three-pointers, and a season high in bench points, all in the same night.
Goodwin’s return mattered beyond the box score. He had missed four games with a right calf injury, and his 6-for-7 night from deep in 14 minutes gave Phoenix a second-unit spark it had been missing. Led by Goodwin and Kennard, the reserves scored 81 points, with Khaman Maluach adding 11 points and seven rebounds and Ryan Dunn chipping in 10 points and eight rebounds.
The headline number was 22. Phoenix’s 22 made three-pointers broke its previous season high of 18, and the 51.2 percent clip was the product of a whole roster shooting with confidence rather than one hot hand. Goodwin’s six led the way, Gillespie connected on four, Green and Kennard made three apiece, and Booker and Miles Bridges each added two.
The shooting changed the geometry of the game. With Phoenix hitting from deep, the Clippers could not pack the paint, and the lead grew in waves: the 13-0 run to end the first quarter, the eight second-quarter threes, and the 22-9 surge to open the third. The rebounding told a second story: Phoenix won the glass 49-37, with Maluach grabbing seven boards and Dunn eight.
No postgame quotes were included in the source reports for this game, so the reaction to the win is best read in the numbers. A 23-point win the night after a 26-point loss is the clearest statement a team can make, and the Suns made it with their depth: 81 bench points, five players in double figures, and a 22-three night that broke the team’s season record.
For Goodwin, the night was a personal reset as much as a team win. Four games out with a calf injury, then 18 points on 6-for-7 from deep in 14 minutes, is the kind of return that earns a bigger role. The Clippers, meanwhile, leave Phoenix with a familiar problem: a perimeter defence picked apart for four quarters.
One November blowout does not decide a season, but the way the Suns won matters for what they are trying to become. A team built around Booker’s scoring needs reliable shooting and reliable depth around him, and on Tuesday it had both in record amounts. If the bench produces nights like this with any regularity, Phoenix becomes much harder to game-plan against.
The rebounding matters too. Outrebounding only one of their first nine opponents was an early-season warning sign, and the 49-37 edge suggests the problem is fixable when the effort and rotations are right. For the Clippers, the loss is a reminder that ending a losing streak and fixing a team are different things.
Phoenix continues its season-long seven-game homestand, where it now sits at 3-2. The question is whether the shooting travels once the homestand ends. The Clippers must regroup quickly: a defence that gave up 22 three-pointers at 51.2 percent will be tested again by every opponent that watches this film.
