The Phoenix Suns saw their four-game winning streak come to an end with a 122-115 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday night. The Suns led by double digits in the fourth quarter but were outscored 27-10 down the stretch as the Raptors rallied for the victory.

Why it matters

The loss drops the Suns to 39-28 on the season as they continue a six-game road trip. Phoenix has struggled to defend the 3-point shot during this road swing, an area they'll need to shore up as they push for playoff positioning in the Western Conference.

The details

Jalen Green led the Suns with 34 points, including 8 made 3-pointers, while Devin Booker added 31 points. But the Suns committed 5 of their 12 turnovers in the fourth quarter, allowing the Raptors to mount their comeback. Toronto's Brandon Ingram scored a game-high 36 points, with 20 coming in the second half. Raptors forward Scottie Barnes also made a key block on Green late in the game to help seal the win.

What they’re saying

“We've got to double down. The rest of these 15 games are going to be like that. High level. The arena is going to be into it. Playoffs right around the corner. We've got to double down on everything.”

— Jordan Goodwin, Suns guard

“That was clean, clean block. I probably should've just quick-dunked it.”

— Jalen Green

What’s next

The Suns will look to bounce back on Monday, March 16 when they take on the Boston Celtics (43-23) as their six-game road trip continues.

The takeaway

The Suns' inability to close out the Raptors after building a double-digit lead highlights the challenges they've faced on the defensive end during this road trip, particularly in defending the 3-point shot. As the playoffs approach, Phoenix will need to shore up these areas to make a deep postseason run.
