In an impressive performance off the bench, Phoenix Suns guard Royce O’Neale made a significant impact with his three-point shooting against the Cleveland Cavaliers. O’Neale hit 5 of 6 shots from deep in the first half, helping the Suns to a 62-51 lead at halftime, eventually securing a 123-112 home victory. This incredible display of shooting was supported by Kevin Durant’s stellar performance, scoring 32 points, grabbing six rebounds, and dishing out eight assists.
O’Neale’s five three-pointers in the first half were reminiscent of his previous success on Feb. 28 against the New Orleans Pelicans when he made 6 of 9 from deep. Devin Booker also contributed with 11 points, and Tyus Jones, Collin Gillespie, and Ryan Dunn reached double-digit scoring figures.
However, Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell struggled with his shooting, going 2 of 15 from the field and 0 for 6 from three. Despite having the second-best record in the NBA at 56-13, the Cavaliers were on a three-game losing streak going into the game against the Suns.
The Suns’ victory was a testament to O’Neale’s hot hand and Durant’s all-around performance, showcasing their strength as a team. With this win, the Suns look to carry the momentum forward as they continue their push towards the playoffs.
