The Phoenix Suns defeated the Washington Wizards 112–93 on January 11 at Footprint Center, dominating a matchup that fell well short of the 230.5-point Vegas total. Ryan O'Neale led Phoenix with 19 points while Devin Booker added 17, as the Suns' defense proved suffocating throughout. Washington's Alperen Sarr and Tyus Johnson each scored 19 points but received minimal offensive support, with the Wizards shooting just 39.5 percent from the field and connecting on only seven three-pointers compared to Phoenix's 17. The decisive factor emerged in the third quarter, when Phoenix outscored Washington 31–17, effectively putting the game away; the Wizards also committed 22 turnovers to the Suns' 14, fueling a 109.4 offensive rating for the home team against Washington's 89.5. Phoenix's defensive rating of 89.5 held the visitors to their lowest offensive output of the season, while the Suns' balanced attack—32 assists and 51 rebounds—showcased their depth. The loss drops Washington further back in the Eastern Conference playoff picture as Phoenix continues climbing the Western Conference standings.
