Jordan Goodwin Drains Five Threes as Suns Build 17-Point Lead

Phoenix turned an 11-point first-quarter edge into a 17-point halftime cushion, outscoring the Clippers 35-29 in the second. Jordan Goodwin supplied the spark, pouring in 15 points and hitting five of his six three-point attempts in under 10 minutes. Darius Garland leads LA with 11 points and four assists, while Rui Hachimura has added 10 points and five rebounds. The Suns entered at 3-6 and 21st in the power index, with the Clippers at 2-7 and 22nd; after the break, watch whether LA can slow Phoenix’s outside shooting and turn Garland’s playmaking into a push.
