First Quarter


The Suns started strong in the first quarter, establishing an early lead with a score of 28 points compared to the Knicks' 23. Devin Booker was instrumental during this period, showcasing his scoring ability and setting the tone for his team. His contributions were pivotal as he led from the front.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, both teams displayed offensive prowess with high-scoring performances. The Suns managed to maintain their lead by scoring 34 points while allowing only slightly more from their opponents who scored 37 points. Dillon Brooks also made significant contributions during this period with his efficient shooting and playmaking skills.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw continued dominance from Booker as he orchestrated plays that kept the Suns ahead. Scoring another impressive set of points totaling up to 32 for this segment alone helped maintain their edge over New York's efforts which resulted in them adding another set of numbers on board but still trailing behind.


Fourth Quarter


As tensions rose into fourth-quarter action where stakes were highest; it became evident how crucial defense would be alongside strategic offense execution - something Valley executed well despite being outscored slightly (18 vs NYK’s own tally). Notably though: Royce O’Neale stepped up defensively contributing key rebounds & blocks ensuring no major comeback occurred against them thus securing win overall!


With such performances across board including notable ones like Collin Gillespie’s assists alongside others mentioned earlier – it is clear why they emerged victorious here today!
