Phoenix led by five after one quarter. Portland flipped the game in the second, outscoring the Suns 43-25 to take a 72-59 lead at halftime, and Phoenix never got it back to even.

The numbers

1. Damian Lillard, POR: 25 points on 9-of-17 shooting, 5 assists.
2. Donovan Clingan, POR: 24 points and 11 rebounds.
3. Deni Avdija, POR: 21 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds.
4. Devin Booker, PHX: 33 points, 13 of 13 at the line.

The take

The Blazers have won six of their first seven, and the last five came on the road. Wednesday showed how the scoring is spread out: four Portland players scored at least 15, and Avdija set most of it up.

Phoenix has bigger problems. Booker got his points, 13 of them at the line, but the Suns gave up 43 in one quarter at home and have lost five of their first six.

Portland's road trip gets harder Friday night at the 7-2 Lakers, where Luka Doncic just scored 40 for his sixth straight game of 35 or more.
