ATLANTA – Devin Booker was a high school senior at Moss Point (Miss.) when the Phoenix Suns last won a road game against the Atlanta Hawks, 102-95, on March 24, 2014. This means Booker has never defeated the Hawks in Atlanta. He’s come close.

Booker scored a game-high 39 points on 14-of-25 shooting after struggling with his shot to lead the Suns (16-19), who remain 12 th in the West. Durant went for 26 points while Beal followed up his 25-point effort off the bench Monday at Philadelphia with 10 on 5-of-13 shooting Tuesday.

The Phoenix Suns hadn’t won back-to-back games since last month when beating two of NBA’s worst teams in the Utah Jazz on Dec. 13 in Salt Lake City and the Portland Trail Blazers at home Dec. 15. That alone is an indication of the type of season they’re having.

Devin Booker matched his season high with six 3-pointers and scored 34 points, Kevin Durant added 25 points and the Phoenix Suns led wire-to-wire in a 114-106 victory over the visiting Utah Jazz on Saturday.

Even so, they battled with the Phoenix Suns all the way to the final buzzer. The Suns ended up with the 114-106 win but were forced to play their best players — Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal — all the way to the final seconds because the Jazz wouldn’t let up.
