Game Recap: Suns fall to Bulls 124-117 as turnovers remain a problem

The Phoenix Suns dropped their second consecutive preseason game, losing 124-117 to the Chicago Bulls on October 7, 2026. Phoenix established an early 15-point lead before inconsistent play and 26 turnovers allowed Chicago to mount a comeback. Dillon Brooks led the Suns in scoring with an efficient 24 points on nine shots, while Devin Booker struggled from deep, missing all eight of his three-point attempts.

Mark Bowser of Bright Side Of The Sun highlighted that Phoenix suffered another setback when Miles Bridges exited in the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. Despite solid defensive play from Ryan Dunn and strong minutes from Jordan Goodwin, late roster substitutions faltered in the fourth quarter as Chicago pulled away for the win.
