Phoenix got past Utah to win consecutive games for the first time since four-game win streak at the start of this month.
Deandre Ayton added 14 and eight rebounds after missing Phoenix’s previous four games with a right hip contusion suffered in the fourth quarter of a March 16 home win over Orlando.
The Suns topped Philadelphia by 20 points on Saturday in the second of a back-to-back for both teams. Phoenix traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first round picks and a pick swap to Brooklyn for T.J. Warren and Durant right before the Feb. 9 trade deadline. With Durant on the verge of returning, the Suns will be full strength, which has been a rarity this season. Fourth in the West, Phoenix will play five of its last seven games at home.
