The Phoenix Suns used a stellar performance from their star-studded lineup to defeat the Indiana Pacers 117-110 in Sunday's game.

The Phoenix Suns, with the help of their Big Three, showcased their offensive firepower and last-minute resilience in a 117-110 win over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.

Durant's efficiency reigns supreme

Kevin Durant stole the show with a historic performance, destroying the Pacers' defence while putting his name in the history books. He chipped in 40 points on an eye-popping 72% shooting from the field, including a whopping 57.1% from beyond the arc. Even more remarkable, he accomplished the feat without stepping to the free throw line once, becoming the oldest player ever (35 years old) to score 40 points without attempting a free throw and joining an elite group of 14 players in NBA history to accomplish the feat.

Booker scores, team wins:

Devin Booker, still basking in the joy of slashing 52 points on Friday, was effusive in his praise for Durant, acknowledging his teammate's "super amazing" efficiency while noting, "It doesn't surprise me ....... Durant's efficiency is on another level entirely. He also talked about the Suns' performance in the final quarter, saying, "That's the definition of 'pick your poison.' All of us came out on the court with an aggressive mindset, and that's going to be hard to stop."

The Big Three join forces, and Beal is the icing on the cake:

The Suns' Big Three are all healthy and on fire right now and are proving to be an unstoppable force. Booker contributed 26 points, eight assists and six rebounds, while Bradley Beal scored a solid 25 points on 11-of-16 shooting. Remarkably, it was the second consecutive game in which the trio combined for 91 points, showcasing their undeniable offensive chemistry.

Key shots secured the win:

Despite playing a close game throughout, the Suns held the lead for most of the night. In the fourth quarter, Buddy Hield hit a late three-pointer to give the Pacers a brief lead. However, the Suns' tenacity made the difference in the game. Durant immediately countered with a three-pointer of his own, while Beal scored three key layups in the final 2:11 to seal the win. Even Booker, who wasn't shooting efficiently, sealed the win with a steal with 25 seconds left in the game.

The Suns were on fire and determined to win:

The win was the Suns' 10th in their last 13 games, extending their current winning streak to five. With the firepower of the Big 3 and their late-game execution, the Suns look like a force to be reckoned with as they aim to climb the standings and compete for a championship.
