Looking back at the Portland Trail Blazers vs Phoenix Suns match player stats, it’s crazy how much can change in just a few months. In December 2024, the Suns vs Blazers game ended in a 116-109 win for Phoenix, extending Portland’s losing streak at the time. But fast forward to February 2025, and Portland got their revenge—not once, but twice!

Just this month, Deandre Ayton led the Blazers to a 121-119 OT win, dropping 25 points and 20 rebounds in what might be his most dominant game of the season. The Blazers also took down the Suns 127-108 just two days before that, making it clear they weren’t the same struggling squad from earlier in the season.

December 2024: Suns dominate the Blazers​

  • Phoenix won 116-109, controlling the second half after Booker took over.
  • Booker dropped 28 points, while Kevin Durant added 20 to secure the win.
  • Trail Blazers had a hot third quarter, briefly taking the lead, but couldn’t hold it.
At that point, Portland looked lost. Their depth was an issue, and with Deandre Ayton out, they struggled to defend the paint. Meanwhile, the Suns were 13-2 when Durant played, making them one of the best teams with a full lineup.

February 2025: The Blazers bounce back!​

  • Ayton dominated with 25 points & 20 rebounds, proving why Portland traded for him.
  • Deni Avdija (24 pts) and Toumani Camara (17 pts) stepped up big-time for Portland.
  • Booker (34 pts) became the Suns’ all-time scoring leader, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Blazers.
  • Portland outscored Phoenix 21-12 in fast-break points, showing major improvement in transition.
  • Ayton went clutch, hitting 5 of 6 FTs in the final 7 seconds of OT to seal the win.

So where do both teams stand now?​

Portland has been on fire, winning 8 of their last 9 and looking like a completely different team from December. The Suns, on the other hand, are still a strong contender but have had some inconsistency. Kevin Durant, Booker, and Beal are a deadly trio, but Phoenix might need to tighten up defensively against teams that attack the paint.

It’s been an up-and-down season for both teams, but Portland’s recent success shows they’re figuring things out. If you go back and watch both games, it’s like watching two different teams. Crazy how things turn around in just a few months!

What do you guys think? Is Portland finally clicking, or was this just a hot streak? And can Phoenix fix their issues before the playoffs? Let’s hear it!
 
What a difference with the Blazers lately! I'm so hyped after those back-to-back wins over the Suns. Portland is finally clicking—four wins in a row now, and you can feel the improvement.

And how about Devin Booker? Dude was on fire, as usual—he put up 34 points and even became the Suns’ all-time leading scorer during the game!

I was checking out the odds before these games, and it's interesting how they played out. For the first matchup, I was hell bent on the odds at BetUS had the Blazers favored by 5 points, and this sportsbook had a similar line. All other bookies were 100% wrong! I think for next matches I am looking at these two.
 
BetUS had the right odds for once, gotta give 'em credit. But let’s not act like they’re the gold standard—some of their payout policies are sketchy at best. 🤨 A win is a win, but I’d still be double-checking my withdrawal times.
 
No excuse for letting Portland run all over them TWICE. If they don’t fix this, they’re first-round exits waiting to happen.
 
Indeed. Their defensive rotations were laughable. You can’t expect to win if you let mid-tier teams put up 120+ on you.
 
Man, let me tell y’all about a wild win I had on Sportsbook.ag for this game. Saw the Blazers were +200 underdogs, and something just felt right—Suns were slipping, Portland had that hunger. So I threw $250 on the moneyline… figured worst case, I lose, but the odds were juicy.

Fast forward to OT, and my heart is pounding. Ayton hitting free throws like prime Duncan, and when that final buzzer hit? $750 payout! Had me feeling like a genius.
