Coming off a tremendous victory over the Sacramento Kings Sunday afternoon, the Spurs were looking to grab another shocking victory in Phoenix against the Suns. However, the Spurs would once again be without their key players due to injury: Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan, and Romeo Langford. The Spurs were outscored 42-25 after the first quarter, and they never recovered. However, they cut a deficit from 31 to 9 by going on a 41-20 run at one point. Nevertheless, the Suns won wire-to-wire 115-94.
Malaki Branham led the team in scoring with 21 points and also had three rebounds, two assists, and a steal.
Here he gets the Spurs on the board with a silky smooth jumper.
