The Portland Trail Blazers continued their mastery over the Phoenix Suns, securing a 132-119 win on Wednesday night at Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix. The victory improved the Blazers to 6-1 on the season and 2-0 against the Suns, who fell to 1-5 and suffered their fourth consecutive loss.
Devin Booker led all scorers with 33 points for Phoenix, while Damian Lillard paced Portland with 25 points. The Blazers built a lead as large as 22 points and held the Suns to their highest points-allowed total of the season.
Portland achieved the win without star guard Ja Morant, who is sidelined with a grade 2 hamstring injury suffered on October 29 against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Blazers' balanced attack also featured 14 points each from Donovan Clingan and Damian Lillard at halftime, with Deni Avdija adding 13.
The Suns' struggles continue a pattern from last season when they lost four straight before winning seven of their next eight. Phoenix's seven-game homestand continues Thursday against the Orlando Magic.
Historically, the Blazers have now won four straight meetings against the Suns, including a 15-point regular-season win on February 22 and a 114-110 play-in tournament victory on April 14 that secured the seventh seed in the 2026 Western Conference playoffs.
Phoenix played without Jordan Goodwin (right calf soreness) and Rasheer Fleming (left ankle sprain), both ruled out before the game. Coach Jordan Ott adjusted his rotation, giving minutes to Jamaree Bouyea, rookie Koa Peat, Pat Spencer, and Duop Reath.
