Jordan Goodwin Hits Six 3-Pointers in His Return as Suns Rout Clippers 133-110
Jordan Goodwin scored 18 points on six 3-pointers in his return from a right calf injury, and the Phoenix Suns made a season high 22 3-pointers in a 133-110 rout of the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night.
Goodwin, who had missed the previous four games, finished 6 for 7 from long distance in just 14 minutes off the bench. His sixth 3-pointer made it 99-69 late in the third quarter. Devin Booker added 17 points and five assists for Phoenix, which won its largest margin of victory this season one night after a 26 point loss to San Antonio.
The Suns closed the first quarter on a 13-0 run to lead 29-18, and Goodwin scored 12 of his 18 points in the second quarter, hitting 3-pointers on consecutive possessions to help Phoenix stretch the lead to 48-31. Collin Gillespie beat the halftime buzzer with a 3-pointer from 39 feet to make it 64-47, and the Suns opened the second half on a 22-9 surge. A jumper by Dillon Brooks gave Phoenix its largest lead at 91-59 with four minutes left in the third quarter.
Phoenix shot 22 for 43 from beyond the arc, 51.2 percent, breaking its previous season high of 18 made 3-pointers. The Suns bench poured in a season high 81 points, and seven Phoenix players scored in double figures, five of them reserves. Luke Kennard scored a season high 14 points, Jalen Green had 13, Gillespie added 12 points and eight assists, Khaman Maluach contributed 11 points and seven rebounds, and Ryan Dunn chipped in 10 points and eight rebounds. Phoenix also won the rebounding battle 49-37, and all five starters rested for the entire fourth quarter.
Darius Garland, Baba Miller and Rui Hachimura each scored 13 points for the Clippers, Miller scoring all of his in the fourth quarter, and Max Strus added 12. Los Angeles had snapped a seven game losing streak with a win over New Orleans on Sunday, but has now lost eight of its last nine and fell to 2-8.
The quarter scores were Phoenix 29, 35, 35 and 34, and Los Angeles 18, 29, 25 and 38. The Suns, 4-6 and winners of three of their last four, continue their seven game homestand against Charlotte on Thursday night. The Clippers host Oklahoma City on Friday night.

Norman Powell scored 23 points as the Chicago Bulls beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-106 on Saturday night, ending Minnesota’s five-game winning streak.
Matas Buzelis added 18 points and nine rebounds for Chicago, and Buddy Hield and Tre Jones each chipped in 16 points off the bench. The Bulls won for the second straight night despite a travel day scrambled by the nationwide FAA ground stop, which delayed their arrival in Minneapolis until the day of the game, and despite missing Caleb Wilson, Jalen Smith and Nic Claxton.
Chicago led 29-17 after the first quarter and 58-45 at halftime. Minnesota’s 17 points in the first quarter were its lowest-scoring quarter of the season, and the Timberwolves failed to reach 110 points for the first time this season.
Ayo Dosunmu scored a team-high 24 points against his former team for Minnesota, LaMelo Ball had 19 and Jaden McDaniels added 18. The Timberwolves missed their first 13 3-point attempts and finished 9 of 38 from long range, while Chicago scored 54 points in the paint.
