It had to be Bradley Beal Day and unquestionably it was, even in a less than exciting competitive context. There in fact, the challenge between Washington and Phoenix ends before it even begins, with the home team raising the white flag practically without even competing (+11 for the Suns after 3 minutes) ending up 30 down at the end of the third quarter and finishing with a score of 140-112. The Suns, in the last game of a long 7-game trip, are grateful and take advantage of it, enjoying Beal’s best performance of the season. In fact, the ex of the evening is honored with a tribute video during the announcement of the starting lineup, but then he enjoys torturing the poor defense of the home team scoring 43 with 16/21 shooting, 4/5 from long range and 7/7 from free throws in front of his former fans who welcomed him with an ovation. With a Beal like that and with so little opposition from his opponents — he only saves himself Deni Avdija with 24 points and 10/13 shootingclearly the best of his —, the rest of the Suns can treat themselves to a day of relaxation, with Kevin Durant e Jusuf Nurkic a quota 18 (for the big man also a double double with 13 rebounds and 8 assists) and Devin Booker from 14 in less than 26 minutes. Phoenix thus concludes its long tour in the East with a positive record (4-3), returning home with the 29th victory of the season — the tenth in the last 13 games.
