The Washington Wizards defeated the Phoenix Suns , 131 - 127 , Tuesday at Talking Stick Resort Arena . It was a back - and - forth game between these teams , as after the Wizards ( 38 - 24 ) opened up the game early with a 13 - point lead after one quarter , the Suns ( 21 - 43 ) chipped away and ultimately opened up their own lead of 11 points in the third quarter . From there , after Washington countered , the game was neck and neck until the very end . With two minutes to go , the Wizards gained a 10 - point lead , which then dropped to an eight - point lead with 30 seconds left . Phoenix 's Devin Booker would n't let his team go away , however , and managed to score nine points over the next 26 seconds , but ultimately , it was not enough , and the Suns could n't extend their win streak to four games . The Washington backcourt led the way all night for the Wizards , as Bradley Beal scored 27 points in 33 minutes , while John Wall notched 25 points and 14 assists in 37 minutes . The most important for Washington , however , came from one of their newest members , as Bojan Bogdanovic scored a team - high 29 points in 29 minutes off the bench . Most of those came at the free throw line , as Bogdanovic hit an impressive 16 - of - 16 shots from the charity stripe . It was a similar story for the Suns , as the starting backcourt of Eric Bledsoe and Devin Booker carried the team to the bitter end . Bledsoe finished with a game - high 30 points on 50 percent shooting in just 27 minutes . Booker , after his late - game spurt , scored 25 points to go along with six assists and four rebounds in 38 minutes . As a team , Phoenix shot very well , as they hit 50 percent of their shots overall from the field . In the end , it was their carelessness with the basketball that resulted in 19 team turnovers that cost them Tuesday 's outing . John Wall has been one of the most consistent ball distributors in the NBA this season , as his 11 assists per game are second - best in the league this season behind James Harden 's 11 per game . Tuesday was yet another example of Wall being at his best as a point guard , and when he 's at his best , his team typically is as well . In Tuesday 's win over the Suns , Wall dished out 14 assists to go along with his 25 points , and this season , when Wall shares the ball as effectively as he did against Phoenix , the Wizards are almost impossible to beat . In the 19 games where Wall has recorded at least 13 assists this season , Washington is 15 - 4 , with three of those losses - - against the Grizzlies , Thunder and Spurs - - coming in the first 18 games of the regular season .
