Deni Avdija recorded 24 points, eight rebounds and five assists before fouling out as Portland completed a two-game sweep of the Suns. Toumani Camara added 17 points as the Trail Blazers won their fourth straight game and improved to 8-1 over their past nine.

Devin Booker scored 34 points and became the all-time leading scorer in franchise history for the Suns, but he missed a free throw that would have tied the game with 4.4 seconds left in OT. It was the lone free throw that Booker missed in 14 attempts.

Kevin Durant scored 27 points and Bradley Beal had 25 points for Phoenix, which lost 127-108 on Saturday in the opener of the two-game set with Portland. Royce O’Neale added 14 points for the Suns.

Scoot Henderson scored 15 points, Jerami Grant had 14 and Anfernee Simons contributed 13 points and 10 assists for Portland.

Beal’s layup with 32.6 seconds remaining in overtime moved Phoenix within 116-115. Ayton made two free throws with 7.8 seconds left to give Portland a 118-115 lead before Beal made two foul shots of his own to cut the Suns’ deficit to one with 5.9 seconds to go.

Ayton again made two free throws to make it a three-point margin with 5.5 seconds remaining. Booker was fouled by Avdija while attempting a 3-pointer with 4.4 seconds left. He made the first two free throws before coming up short on the third.

Ayton got the rebound with 3.2 seconds left, got fouled and split two free throws. When Ayton missed the second, Grant got the rebound, and the clock ran out.

In regulation, Grant slammed home a dunk with 14.3 seconds left to give Portland a three-point edge.

Phoenix tied the game at 107 when O’Neale knocked down a 3-pointer with 2.6 seconds left.

The trey gave Booker 24 points for the game and 15,668 for his career, two more than Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Walter Davis scored for Phoenix between 1977-88. Booker finished the contest with 15,678 points.
