PHOENIX — For the second time this season, the Phoenix Suns are on a hot streak.
The Suns continued their best start to a season in franchise history against the Brooklyn Nets and have two double-digit winning streaks this season.
Devin Booker scored 35 points, Mikal Bridges added a season-high 27 and the NBA-leading Suns extended their winning streak to 11 games by beating the Nets 121-111 on Tuesday night.
They won 18 games in a row, breaking a franchise record, from Oct. 30 to Dec. 2. Bridges scored a season high for a second straight game.
The lanky 6-foot-6 forward had 26 points against the Spurs on Sunday and was arguably even better against the Nets. Kyrie Irving led Brooklyn with 26 points.
The Suns take on the Atlanta Hawks at the Phillips Arena Thursday at 5:30 p.m.
