PHOENIX (AP) — Devin Booker scored 24 points, Deandre Ayton added 23 and the NBA-leading Phoenix Suns extended their winning streak to seven games, rallying after Chris Paul was ejected to beat the Houston Rockets 124-121 on Wednesday night.
Phoenix improved to 48-10 heading into the All-Star break.
The Suns won despite losing Paul in the third quarter after the star point guard was ejected for arguing and then bumping into an official. The Rockets fell to 15-42 and have lost six straight. Eric Gordon missed a tightly guarded 3-pointer at the buzzer that could have tied it. Dennis Schroder led the Rockets with 23 points.
