Portland's road victory over Phoenix on April 14 at Footprint Center ended 114–110, with the Trail Blazers outgunning the Suns despite a balanced offensive effort from the home team. Deni Avdija led Portland with 41 points while Jrue Holiday added 21, and the Blazers' three-point barrage—17 made from beyond the arc—proved decisive in a contest that fell slightly short of the 215.5 Vegas total. Phoenix's J. Green scored 35 points and Devin Booker chipped in 22, but the Suns shot just 49.4 percent from the field and managed only 9 three-pointers. Portland's second quarter proved critical, outscoring Phoenix 34–29 to build separation, and their 27 assists to Phoenix's 20 underscored superior ball movement. Despite committing 15 turnovers, Portland's 113.9 offensive rating and stifling 113.3 defensive rating secured the narrow win. The loss leaves Phoenix searching for consistency as the playoffs intensify.
