Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns take on DeMar DeRozan and the Sacramento Kings on the road on Wednesday.
The Sacramento Kings (6-5) welcome in the Phoenix Suns (8-2) for the second time this season and the first time at home on Wednesday. In the first game between the teams Phoenix was without Kevin Durant, but came back from a seven-point first half deficit to force overtime. While Phoenix was able to overcome the loss of Durant through three quarters, his absence was felt in crunch time, as DeMar DeRozan and De’Aaron Fox took over. At the 4:42 mark of the fourth quarter Phoenix led 101-95 after a Tyus Jones three-pointer. From that point DeRozan and Fox combined to score or assist on 19 of Sacramento’s final 32 points to force overtime and then pull away for the win in those extra five minutes of action.
