Kevin Durant scores 37 points, rallying Suns to 117-111 victory over Cavaliers

Associated Press  

CLEVELAND — Kevin Durant scored 37 points and Devin Booker had 27 in his return from a right ankle sprain, rallying the Phoenix Suns to a 117-111 victory over the injury-depleted Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night. “It’s good to have him out there with his talent and I’m glad he was able to get his feet wet in a tight game, too.” Phoenix trailed 63-44 midway through the second quarter, but answered with a 43-15 run that ended deep in the third. “After they threw a punch, I feel like we kept punching back, but they got hot and it was hard to stop them.” Garland scored 21 points in the first quarter and had 25 in the opening half as the Cavaliers carried a 70-63 advantage into the break. “To see guys like Donovan and Embiid left out, that does not feel right.” Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff agreed, saying, “Everyone knows that Donovan Mitchell is an All-NBA player and he’s had an All-NBA season.” UP NEXT Suns: At Boston on Thursday night.
