Collin Gillespie scored a career-best 30 points, tied his high of eight 3-pointers and dished out 10 assists to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 130-125 victory over the host Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Grayson Allen made six treys and scored 24 points to help the Suns recover from a 19-point first-quarter deficit and win for the seventh time in 10 games.

Mark Williams also had 24 points and collected 12 rebounds, Jordan Goodwin recorded 16 points, 10 rebounds and a season-high five steals off the bench and Dillon Brooks and Royce O’Neale added 11 points apiece.

Portland’s Jrue Holiday had 15 points and six assists, Donovan Clingan registered 14 points and 15 rebounds, Robert Williams III had 14 points and eight boards off the bench and Toumani Camara scored 13 points.

Sidy Cissoko added 12 points and fellow reserve Blake Wesley put up 10 for the Trail Blazers, who were without All-Star Deni Avdija (back) for the second straight contest and seventh in the past 11.

Suns All-Star Devin Booker (ankle) missed his sixth straight game. Jalen Green (hip/hamstring) also sat out.

The Suns hit 20 of 41 (48.8%) from 3-point range and shot 51% from the field overall.

The Trail Blazers made 49.5% from the field, including 18 of 52 (34.6%) from behind the arc.

Portland trailed by 12 before making a late 12-4 push. Grant knocked down a 3-pointer to cap it and bring the Trail Blazers within 124-120 with 1:15 remaining.

However, Allen drilled a trey with 55.9 seconds left and Mark Williams slammed home a dunk with 25.4 seconds remaining to put Phoenix back up by nine, effectively closing it out.

Allen made four treys and Gillespie drained three during the third quarter when the Suns were 8 of 15 from long range.

The sharpshooting helped Phoenix turn a five-point halftime deficit into a 101-94 advantage. Goodwin drilled a 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left to end the rush of treys.

Portland moved within three early in the fourth, but Ryan Dunn hit two 3-pointers in 26 seconds to give the Suns a 116-104 lead with 7:11 remaining.

Clingan had 13 points and 11 rebounds in the first half and Camara also scored 13 points as Portland held a 72-67 lead at the break. Gillespie recorded 14 first-half points for Phoenix.
