In a captivating matchup on December 29, 2025, the Phoenix Suns secured their fourth consecutive victory by defeating the Washington Wizards 115-101. Dillon Brooks shone brightly with an impressive 26 points, while Collin Gillespie contributed significantly with 25 points of his own, playing a crucial role in this triumph.
The Suns, who have been on a remarkable winning streak, saw Devin Booker add to their success with 22 points. This latest win marks their fifth victory in the last six games and continues their strong performance during a four-game road trip, where they have already claimed three wins.
One of the highlights for Phoenix was their shooting accuracy from beyond the arc, as they made 17 out of 40 three-point attempts, translating to an impressive 42.5% success rate. Additionally, they dominated the boards with a notable 20-9 advantage in offensive rebounds, allowing them to achieve a record of six games above .500 (19-13) for the first time this season.
This victory was particularly significant as it came without their center Mark Williams, who was serving a one-game suspension due to his involvement in an on-court altercation during a previous game against New Orleans that ended in a 129-114 victory.
On the other side of the court, the Wizards showcased some talent of their own, with rookie Tre Johnson achieving a personal best of 24 points. Unfortunately for Washington, this loss interrupted their momentum as they were looking to secure three consecutive wins for the first time since early February.
CJ McCollum also made a notable contribution for the Wizards, scoring 17 points. Despite holding one of the weakest records in the league, Washington has shown signs of improvement, managing a record of 4-4 over their last eight games.
Johnson not only surpassed his previous career high of 19 points with a three-pointer at the start of the third quarter but also sparked excitement by helping close Washington's halftime deficit, which had been seven points, to just two.
However, the Suns quickly responded with a powerful 16-3 run, extending their lead to 77-62, highlighted by back-to-back three-pointers from Royce O'Neale and Gillespie, demonstrating their offensive prowess.
Looking ahead, the Suns are set to wrap up their road trip with a game in Cleveland on Wednesday, while the Wizards will travel to Milwaukee on the same day.
