Starters Brandon Knight (18 points), P.J. Tucker (14), Jon Leuer (14) and Devin Booker (10) reached double figures as well. The Phoenix Suns have lost four of their last six home games. With Kyrie Irving sitting out the second of the back-to-back for now, it fell to Kevin Love and LeBron James who shot 2-10 collectively in the first, half their shots (and buckets) coming from behind the arc. The All-Star did note, however, that he anticipates this being the final back-to-back set that he’ll miss. The Suns shot 56.5 percent from the field (13-of-23) with four 3s.
