The Phoenix Suns defeated the Chicago Bulls, 125-104, at United Center on Friday night.

The Suns (35-29) came into the contest buoyed by their impressive win over the Charlotte Hornets in their first game with Kevin Durant on the floor Wednesday, and they clearly carried the momentum over into the first quarter versus the Bulls (29-35). Phoenix already had a 40-29 lead after one, but Chicago turned the tables to win the second quarter by a 35-20 margin and take a four-point lead into halftime. However, the second half would belong to the visitors, who outscored their hosts, 65-40, over the final 24 minutes.

Devin Booker led the Suns with 35 points, adding six assists, five rebounds, one steal and one block. Josh Okogie furnished 25 points and four boards. Kevin Durant supplied 20 points, nine boards, six assists, one steal and one block. Chris Paul generated an 11-point, 10-assist double-double that included six rebounds and two steals. Damion Lee netted 10 points.

DeMar DeRozan paced the Bulls with 31 points, complementing them with six assists and two steals. Zach LaVine registered 27 points, four rebounds, four assists and one steal. Nikola Vucevic totaled 13 points, nine boards, two assists and one steal.

The Suns remain on the road and visit the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday afternoon, while the Bulls remain home and host the Indiana Pacers on Sunday afternoon as well.
