PHOENIX (AP) \u2014 Devin Booker<\/a> had 30 points and 10 assists as the Phoenix Suns<\/a> stopped the Charlotte Hornets<\/a>\u2019 road winning streak at 10 games with a 111-99 victory Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Booker was 1 for 6 from 3-point range but made all 15 of his free throws.<\/p>\n

Collin Gillespie<\/a> and Jalen Green<\/a> each scored 24 points for the Suns, who have won four of five. Rasheer Fleming<\/a> added 16 off the bench, including four 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

LaMelo Ball<\/a> led the Hornets with 22 points. Their road winning streak was the NBA\u2019s longest since the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> won 11 straight away from home in 2019-20. Charlotte hadn\u2019t lost on the road since Jan. 17 at Golden State.<\/p>\n

The longest road winning streak in NBA history is 16 games, by the 1971-72 Lakers during their league-record 33-game run overall.<\/p>\n

Miles Bridges<\/a> scored 16 points, Kon Knueppel<\/a> had 15 and Brandon Miller<\/a> added 11 \u2014 all in the first half \u2014 for Charlotte. Knueppel was just 2 for 8 from behind the arc but the rookie still leads the NBA with 224 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

This was the first of a four-game Hornets road swing. Despite losing this one and at home Friday against Miami, they\u2019re 16-5 in the last 21 games in their rebound from a 4-14 start.<\/p>\n

Phoenix, playing its last home game before six straight on the road, has won three of four. The Suns were again without starters Dillon Brooks<\/a> (hand fracture) and Mark Williams<\/a> (foot fracture). Key reserve Grayson Allen<\/a> also sat out with a sore right knee.<\/p>\n

The Suns led 60-58 at halftime. Green had 20 points and Booker 14.<\/p>\n

Hornets: Play at Portland on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
