This was only the 26th time in NBA history that someone scored 42 points on 17 or fewer shots. Grayson Allen admitted he was aiming for 10 three-pointers when he saw he was in range. Jalen Green was absent and kept Allen informed of his stats. With new faces on the team in 2025-2026, Grayson Allen has taken on a bigger role for Phoenix.
Allen is averaging 33.8 minutes per game after 24.1 minutes during the 2024-2025 season. Kevin Durant’s departure has turned the rotation upside down for Phoenix. The experienced guard admits that his increased involvement this season has helped keep him in the rhythm. After playing a bench role last season, Allen will be a full-time starter from 2025-2026. Late in the game, Grayson Allen received MVP chants from the Suns’ home crowd. He said, “I don’t know how many times that’s going to happen. That was pretty cool.”
