Beal is back, and the Suns narrowly win by 1 point! Durant 25+8+9, Bulls Trident 70 points
The Suns challenge the Bulls
Two consecutive losses to the Spurs have sent the Suns' morale to rock bottom. However, Durant immediately used 41 points in a single game to successfully help the team get back on the winning track. 41 points in a single game, which is also the highest score of Durant's Suns career. In this game, the Suns will challenge the Bulls away, and Booker continues to be sidelined, but Beal is back, which is undoubtedly good news for the Suns. From the Wizards to the Suns, Beal has yet to play a game, but with his scoring ability, the help to the team will be visible to the naked eye, at least, Durant doesn't have to work so hard.
The state of the Chicago Bulls is still indescribable, and the combination of DeRozan and LaVine and Vucevic has indeed brought some reverie to fans, but such a big three combination can only aim for the playoffs. DeRozan and Durant, the best mid-distance players in the world, will be a rare showdown between them.

Durant had 25 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, and still played 42 minutes in this game, while Beal only played 23 minutes, with 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-12 shooting, still looking for form.

Kobe White, who started the game, also had 11 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and Lakers veteran Caruso, who shot 7 of 9 and 4 of 5 three-point shots, was 19 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, with a plus/minus of +24 The first on the team, and the highest among the starters was DeRozan's -3, the gap is clear at a glance.
