Booker left the game in the first quarter, but losing the star guard barely slowed down the Phoenix scoring for the rest of the match.

Dillon Brooks was the leading scorer for Phoenix with 33 points while Collin Gillespie contributed 28 points — including eight three-pointers — as the Suns cruised to victory.

The Lakers were left frustrated by an enormous 22 turnovers—which led to 32 points for the Suns—marking a tough night for JJ Redick's team, who dropped to 15-5 and remain second in the Western Conference.

Luka Doncic led the Lakers with a game-best 38 points, supported by Austin Reaves with 16 points and DeAndre Ayton adding 12. LeBron James also had a difficult game, finishing with only 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting.

Donovan Mitchell's 43-point performance helped the Cleveland Cavaliers improve to 13-9 in the Eastern Conference with a 135-119 blowout against the Indiana Pacers.

Cleveland took command by outscoring the Pacers 37-25 in the first quarter, building a substantial lead they maintained throughout the lopsided game.

In Denver, Anthony Davis scored 32 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to help the Dallas Mavericks pull off a surprising 131-121 victory over Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.

Serbian star Jokic recorded 29 points, 20 rebounds, and 13 assists, but Denver couldn't capitalize after a dominant first quarter that saw them build a 14-point lead.

Instead, Dallas exploded to outscore Denver 42-27 in the second quarter, taking a one-point advantage into halftime.

A back-and-forth second half ultimately tipped in Dallas's favor as the Mavs outscored Denver 29-17 in the fourth quarter to secure a win that lifts them to 7-15. Denver fell to 14-6 on the season.

The Houston Rockets (13-5) also suffered an upset in Salt Lake City, losing 133-125 to the Utah Jazz (7-13).

The Detroit Pistons remain atop the Eastern Conference after a hard-fought 99-98 home victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

In a contest where the lead changed 27 times, Detroit held on thanks to a late scoring surge by Cade Cunningham, who scored eight of his 18 points in the final quarter.
