Phoenix Suns vs Cleveland Cavaliers — 126:113, NBA

Phoenix closed out a 126–113 win over Cleveland on the strength of efficient shot-making and a decisive edge from beyond the arc. While both teams shot over 60% on the listed field-goal totals, the Suns generated more scoring volume from three-point range, knocking down 23 threes to Cleveland’s 15, which ultimately created separation on the scoreboard. Brooks Dillon led Phoenix with 27 points, setting the tone as the Suns repeatedly punished defensive lapses and kept the Cavaliers from stringing together a sustained run. Phoenix also got balanced support from Goodwin Jordan (17 points) and Collin Gillespie (16 points), and the Suns’ ball movement was a consistent feature, finishing with 31 assists. Cleveland stayed competitive behind a spread-out scoring effort, led by Hunter De’Andre (17 points) and J. Tyson (16 points). The Cavaliers also moved the ball effectively (34 assists) and matched Phoenix on the glass (43 rebounds apiece), but their lower three-point output left them needing near-perfect execution elsewhere to keep pace. The result reinforces how quickly games can swing when one team wins the three-point math by a wide margin. Phoenix’s perimeter production and steady scoring from its top options proved enough to secure a 13-point road-style win, while Cleveland will look to convert strong passing and rebounding into more efficient scoring from deep in future matchups.
