Suns Cruise Past Spurs, 116-96
The Phoenix Suns defeated the visiting San Antonio Spurs, 116-96, at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Wednesday evening.

It was a brilliant night for Phoenix (3-11), a team that has not shown much brilliance early in the season. The Suns jumped out to an early lead and maintained it, thanks in large part to a 56.6 percent shooting night from the field. The Suns also hit a season-best 15 three-pointers. Meanwhile, everything seemed to be going wrong for the Spurs' offense. In addition to shooting only 42 percent from the field, San Antonio committed 19 turnovers in the loss.

T.J. Warren led the Suns with 27 points in the win. Rookie big man DeAndre Ayton added a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double. Devin Booker also impressed, dishing out a team-high 12 assists to go with 13 points.

For the Spurs, All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan scored a team-high 24 points, including a perfect 10-of-10 night at the free-throw line. Fellow All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge, though, had a tough night. The veteran big man shot just 3-of-12 from the field en route to just six points.

The game evened the season between the two teams at one game apiece. San Antonio had earned a 120-90 blowout in its last trip to Phoenix, on Halloween.

The Spurs will travel to LA to take on the Clippers on Thursday night. Phoenix, meanwhile, has two days off before hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday.
