Jordan Goodwin picked up right where he left off.

Goodwin scored 18 points in his return from a calf injury and Devin Booker added 17 as the Phoenix Suns cruised past the Los Angeles Clippers 133-110 on Tuesday night.

Goodwin made six of his seven 3-point tries in about 14 minutes off the bench. He had missed the previous three games.

Raining 3s

Phoenix made 22 of 43 shots from deep. Seven Suns scored in double figures. Five of them came off the bench.

Luke Kennard scored 14 points. Jalen Green had 13. Collin Gillespie added 12 points and eight assists. Rookie Khaman Maluach chipped in 11 points and seven rebounds.

Gillespie banked in a 39-foot 3-pointer right before halftime to make it 64-47. The Suns stretched the lead to 91-59 late in the third quarter.

A bounce-back night

The win came one night after Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs beat Phoenix by 26 on the same floor. Booker scored 32 in that loss and added five assists in this one.

The Suns are 4-6. They are 3-2 so far on a seven-game homestand and host Charlotte on Thursday.

Clippers keep sliding

The Clippers were coming off their first win in more than two weeks. They have now lost eight of their last nine and fell to 2-8.

Rui Hachimura, Baba Miller and Darius Garland each scored 13 points. Max Strus had 12. Los Angeles played without Bradley Beal and Brandon Ingram. The Clippers host Oklahoma City on Friday.
