Suns 115–102 Clippers: Game Recap

Jalen Green shined in his Phoenix debut, scoring 29 points to lead the Suns past the short-handed Los Angeles Clippers 115–102 on Thursday night.

Green’s Impactful Debut

Green, who missed the first eight games with a right hamstring strain, played 23 minutes and shot 10-for-20 from the field, including 6-of-13 from three-point range. The guard joined Phoenix in the offseason after a seven-team trade that sent Kevin Durant to Houston.

Supporting Cast Performance

Devin Booker contributed 24 points.
Grayson Allen, battling illness, added 18 points.
Mark Williams scored 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
Royce O’Neale had 17 points, 11 of them during a dominant third quarter in which Phoenix outscored Los Angeles 40–23 to build a 91–74 lead.

Clippers’ Struggles Continue

The Clippers dropped their third consecutive game. They played without James Harden, absent for personal reasons, and Kawhi Leonard, sidelined with a right ankle sprain.

Ivica Zubac led Los Angeles with 23 points and 11 rebounds.
Cam Christie added 17 points off the bench.
John Collins and Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 13 and 12 points, respectively.

Beal’s Difficult Return

Bradley Beal endured a tough night in his return to Phoenix, shooting 2-of-14 from the field and finishing with just five points. The former Sun, whose tenure in Phoenix was marred by injuries, was met with boos both during introductions and whenever he handled the ball.

“Green’s energy and shot-making set the tone for a Suns team determined to build early-season momentum.”

Author’s Summary

Jalen Green’s 29-point debut powered the Suns to a confident 115–102 win over the injury-ridden Clippers, as Phoenix dominated the second half to secure victory.
