This was just the 26th time in NBA history that someone scored 42 points on 17 or fewer shots. Grayson Allen admitted he was gunning for 10 three-pointers once he saw he was within range. Jalen Green was out and kept Allen updated on his stats. With new faces on the team in 2025-26, Grayson Allen has played a larger role for Phoenix.
Allen is up to 33.8 minutes per game after 24.1 during the 2024-25 season. Kevin Durant’s departure has shuffled the rotation for Phoenix. The veteran guard admits that being more involved this season has helped to keep him in rhythm. After a bench role last season, Allen is a full-time starter beginning in 2025-26. Late in the game, Grayson Allen was receiving MVP chants from the Suns’ home crowd. He said, “I don’t know how many times that’s going to happen. That was pretty cool.”
