Devin Booker scores 30 points, Jalen Green adds 25 as Suns hold off Bulls 120-110

Suns go on the road and beat the Bulls

Dillon Brooks scored 15 points. He hit a fadeaway jumper and a 3 and blocked a shot during the decisive run, helping the Suns shake off back-to-back losses at Orlando and Charlotte.

The Suns led by 13 late in the third quarter before the Bulls went on an 11-0 run. They were clinging to a 109-108 advantage with about three minutes remaining when Brooks hit a turnaround jumper to start the decisive run and added a 3-pointer.

The Bulls missed four shots on their next possession, starting with a 3-point attempt by Guerschon Yabusele. Collin Sexton got the rebound for Chicago. But Leonard Miller missed a layup, a tip-in and had a put-back blocked by Brooks. Booker then made a 3 to make it 117-108 with 1:33 remaining.

Chicago’s Josh Giddey (strained left hamstring) and Matas Buzelis (illness) missed the game. And with their two best players out, the Bulls lost their seventh in a row.

Tre Jones scored 29 for Chicago. Collin Sexton had 18 points and nine rebounds, and Miller finished with 17 points and 10 boards.

The Suns led 84-71 late in the third quarter when Chicago's Rob Dillingham drove for a reverse layup to spark an 11-0 run. He also hit a 3 and made 1 of 2 free throws with a minute remaining to pull the Bulls within two.

Up next Suns: Host Houston on Tuesday.

Bulls: Visit Washington on Tuesday and Thursday.
