The Phoenix Suns defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 115-102 on Thursday night, as Jalen Green made a strong debut for Phoenix.
The Clippers lost for the third straight game, playing without James Harden (personal reasons) and Kawhi Leonard (right ankle sprain).
"The veteran guard was 2 for 14 from the field and finished with five points. Beal played two seasons in Phoenix but was frequently sidelined by injuries."
Beal, returning to Phoenix, faced boos during introductions and every time he touched the ball during the game.
The Suns capitalized on depth and strong third-quarter pressure to secure a convincing win against an injury-hit Clippers team.
"Green’s debut and the Suns' third-quarter surge were key as Phoenix took control and closed out the game successfully."
This game highlighted the Suns’ resilience and depth while exposing the Clippers’ struggles without key players Harden and Leonard.
