Phoenix Suns snap three-game skid, blast Philadelphia by 20 points
Devin Booker paced the Suns with 29 points while Bismack Biyombo posted his own double-double of 17 points and 13 rebounds to go along with five blocks in starting for Ayton, who missed his fourth straight game with a right hip contusion.
Tyrese Maxey scored a game-high 35 points in leading Philadelphia as both teams were on the second of a back-to-back. The Sixers were without James Harden, who sat with a left Achilles soreness. The Suns are now 3-6 without Durant, who is recovering from a left ankle sprain he suffered during a pregame workout March 8 before what would’ve been his Suns home debut.
