With his fourth career triple-double of 18 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds, Amen Thompson led the Houston Rockets to a 119-111 victory against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night.
The second-year player's triple-double on February 3 was the second this month. Bol Bol's 3-pointer knotted the game, but with less than a minute remaining, the Rockets went on an 11-2 run to grab a 115-106 advantage. Jalen Green scored the first five points in that stretch before Dillon Brooks made consecutive 3-pointers to allow Houston to pull away. Devin Booker was out due to an injured lower back, while Kevin Durant scored 37 points for the struggling Suns. For the sixth time in seven games, the Suns suffered their third consecutive defeat. They had an 8-point lead going into the fourth quarter, but Houston came back to win.
