On November 7, 2025, the Phoenix Suns secured a 115-102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, with a stellar performance by Jalen Green. Green, who had been sidelined for the team's first eight games due to a right hamstring strain, scored an impressive 29 points in his debut. Devin Booker added 24 points to the team's total, while Grayson Allen, battling through an illness, contributed 18 points. Mark Williams and Royce O'Neale also played pivotal roles, with Williams recording 13 points and nine rebounds, and O'Neale scoring 17 points, including 11 in the third quarter. The Suns' strong third-quarter performance, where they outscored the Clippers 40-23, was a key factor in their win. The Clippers, however, faced challenges as they lost their third consecutive game, playing without key players James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Despite the loss, Ivica Zubac led the Clippers with 23 points and 11 rebounds. Bradley Beal, returning to Phoenix, had a challenging night, finishing with just five points after an inefficient 2-for-14 shooting performance. The Suns took control of the game in the third quarter, extending their lead to 104-79 with Grayson Allen's 3-pointer. The teams will meet again on Saturday night in Inglewood, California, as the Suns continue their season with a strong start.
