Cleveland Cavaliers vs Phoenix Suns player stats and box score for Mar. 21, 2025

The Cleveland Cavaliers squared off against the Phoenix Suns on Friday in a highly anticipated matchup. Cleveland, which won 118-92 in mid-January, looked to sweep the season series with another win. A victory by the Cavs (56-13) would also keep them in step with Oklahoma (58-12) for the No. 1 seed in the entire playoffs.

Cleveland started hot from behind the arc, making 6 of 9 shots, but the Suns kept up by attacking the paint. Phoenix had a five-point lead halfway through the first quarter before taking a 35-34 advantage after 12 minutes.

The Suns' much-maligned defense showed up in the second quarter to slow down the NBA's best offense. Phoenix won the period 27-17 to lead 62-51 at halftime. Kevin Durant and Co. went 5-for-10 from behind the arc to flip the script against the Cavaliers. Royce O'Neal and Tyus Jones combined for 25 first-half points off the bench to give the home team a lift.
