Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green received a lob up top from Collin Gillespie and slammed it home in the second quarter Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings.
The ferocious dunk by Green, which was a welcome sight for Phoenix given his injury-plagued season, gave the Suns a four-point edge in a contested opening half. The Suns held that advantage, 59-55, into the break.
Gillespie got the transition opportunity rolling by pick-pocketing former Sun Drew Eubanks and taking it up the right sideline. He identified Green on his left and the young star finished.

The slam was Green’s third made bucket of the night, the guard getting off to a 3 for 8 start (1 for 4 from 3) and making all three of his free-throw attempts. He himself had a pair of steals.
Devin Booker returned after a four-game absence due to a right hip strain, the perennial NBA All-Star appearing in the starting five and getting double-digit minutes (16) in the first half. He had 16 points (on 5-of-10 shooting), three assists and two rebounds.
Second-year pro Oso Ighodaro doubled his season averages for points and rebounds in his 16 minutes off the bench, with 12 and 10, respectively. He contributed three assists, too.
