Even with Devin Booker out, the Suns offense has still been flowing in the first half against the Jazz, highlighted by a career-high nine assists by Grayson Allen.
Allen’s previous career high was eight with the Bucks against the Wizards on Jan. 1, 2023. Allen recorded his ninth assist with 3:22 left in the second quarter when he found Kevin Durant for a pull-up jumper.
Allen’s season high before tonight was six assists, and he had four in the first quarter. Durant had 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting in this first quarter, allowing the Suns to take control early.
