PHILADELPHIA — \u2014 Devin Booker<\/a> scored 27 points and Jalen Green<\/a> added 12 points in his return to the lineup as the Phoenix Suns<\/a> beat the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> 116-110 on Tuesday night in a matchup of teams playing the second game of a back to back.<\/p>\n

Grayson Allen<\/a> and Jordan Goodwin<\/a> scored 16 points apiece and Collin Gillespie<\/a> and Oso Ighodaro<\/a> each added 12 as the Suns won their third straight game and for the 12th time in 16 games.<\/p>\n

Rookie VJ Edgecombe<\/a> led the 76ers with 25 points. Kelly Oubre Jr<\/a>. finished with 21 points and Tyrese Maxey<\/a> added 20. Andre Drummond<\/a> finished with 15 rebounds and eight points for the Sixers, who lost for the fourth time in six games.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia was without Joel Embiid<\/a> (right ankle injury management) and Paul George<\/a> (left knee injury management).<\/p>\n

Green played in just his third game of the season, and his first since Nov. 8, because of a right hamstring injury. He is in his first season with the Suns, arriving in the offseason as part of the trade in which Kevin Durant<\/a> was sent to the Houston Rockets<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Green came off the bench to score seven points in nine minutes of the first half, and went on to shoot 4 for 11 from the field, including 2 for 4 from distance, in 20 minutes, with three assists and two rebounds.<\/p>\n

The Suns, coming off a win over Brooklyn on Monday, got 13 points from Booker, 10 from Ighodaro and were perfect on 13 shots from the line on the way to a 57-53 lead at the break.<\/p>\n

The Sixers, who beat Indiana on Monday, opened the second half with a 13-2 run for a 66-59 lead. The Suns tied it at 68 and built a 97-84 lead by the end of the third period. Phoenix extended its lead to 103-86 with 9:37 left in the fourth after Sixers coach Nick Nurse received a technical foul for contesting a call. Philadelphia chipped away down the stretch, but never really threatened.<\/p>\n
