The national team hero, who usually comes off the bench, got the start for the Phoenix Suns.

Eric Gordon scored 20 points on 8 of 14 shooting, with 6 assists but it wasn’t enough to overcome the San Antonio Spurs.

Gordon and the Suns were in control for most of the game, leading by as many as 20 in the 3rd quarter before the Spurs eventually whittled the lead down and overtook the Suns on some clutch shooting from rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama.
