Phoenix Suns Dominate Raptors in 40-Point Victory, Stay in Play-In Hunt

Devin Booker led a second-quarter surge as the Suns moved within one game of the Mavericks for the final play-in spot in the Western Conference.

The Phoenix Suns defeated the Toronto Raptors 129-89 on Monday, led by Devin Booker's 27 points and a pivotal second-quarter performance.
The Suns' reserves played a critical role, contributing to a 39-11 second-quarter run that secured a 23-point halftime lead.
Bradley Beal, sidelined with a hamstring injury, will miss at least one week; he has now missed 21 of the team's 69 games this season.
The win places the Suns just one game behind the Dallas Mavericks for the final Western Conference play-in spot with 13 games remaining.
The Raptors, missing key players RJ Barrett, Gradey Dick, and Jakob Poeltl, dropped to a poor 8-25 road record this season.
