Advanced Stats Breakdown
| Metric | Portland | Phoenix |
|---|---|---|
| Offensive Rating | 98.0 | 78.9 |
| Defensive Rating | 78.9 | 98.0 |
| Points per Possession | 0.98 | 0.79 |

Portland’s rim conversion rate of 85.7% versus Phoenix’s 56.3% is a staggering difference. The Blazers weren’t just getting to the basket more — they were finishing at an elite level when they got there.
What Actually Happened Out There
Heading into this one, people wanted to know if Portland could travel to Phoenix and come away with a win in a back-to-back situation. The Blazers answered that question emphatically.
Phoenix entered this game at Footprint Center without much momentum, and it showed early. Portland’s defense set the tone from tip-off — 11 blocks on the night, which completely changed Phoenix’s approach in the paint. The Suns shot just 36.5% from the field and committed 23 turnovers. Portland turned those 23 giveaways into 24 points, which is exactly the kind of conversion rate that wins road games.
Key storylines from this game:
- Jerami Grant’s efficiency (69.2% FG, 50% from three) was the difference maker on offense
- Portland’s 52 points in the paint vs. Phoenix’s 34 was the clearest indicator of who controlled the interior
- Phoenix’s 14 steals (to Portland’s 10) didn’t translate into enough offensive production to matter
- Scoot Henderson’s 6 assists despite a tough shooting night (28.6% FG) showed real playmaking maturity
- Toumani Camara’s double-double came in limited minutes and at maximum efficiency
Jerami Grant’s Night: A Closer Look
Grant was simply unguardable in this one. His shot chart tells the story better than any description could:
| Zone | FGM | FGA | FG% |
|---|---|---|---|
| At Rim | 6 | 6 | 100% |
| Mid Range | N/A | 1 | — |
| Three Point | 3 | 6 | 50% |
23 points. 69.2% shooting. A +29 plus/minus. Six fast break points. That’s a complete offensive performance from a forward who looked like the best player on the floor by a significant margin.

The Phoenix Suns’ Shooting Collapse
Jalen Green’s 13 points led the Suns, but he needed 16 shots to get there (37.5% FG). He went 1-of-7 from three, which is well below what Phoenix needs from their lead scorer to stay competitive.
The bigger problem was the supporting cast. Ryan Dunn shot 1-of-9 (11.1%) and finished at -18. Royce O’Neale went 0-of-5 without scoring a single point. Mark Williams’ 6 points on 8 shots at center was nowhere near enough interior production to challenge Portland’s bigs.
Phoenix’s shooting breakdown:
| Shooting Type | FGM | FGA | FG% |
|---|---|---|---|
| At Rim | 9 | 16 | 56.3% |
| Mid Range | 5 | 12 | 41.7% |
| Three Point | 9 | 35 | 25.7% |
Going 9-of-35 from three is simply not enough volume efficiency for a modern NBA offense to stay afloat. For context, that’s only 25.7% — and six of those three-point attempts came from players who finished in negative plus/minus territory.
Defensive Dominance: Portland’s Rim Protection
Portland’s 11 blocks changed the entire complexion of Phoenix’s half-court sets. Robert Williams III (2 blocks), Jerami Grant (1 block), and Toumani Camara (1 block) were active at the rim all game.
The Blazers also converted 10 steals into a significant portion of their 24 points off turnovers. Kris Murray and Sidy Cissoko each had 2 steals, contributing to transition buckets that pushed Portland’s fast break total to 17 points compared to Phoenix’s 6.
Rebounding War
| Category | Portland | Phoenix |
|---|---|---|
| Offensive Rebounds | 13 | 13 |
| Defensive Rebounds | 34 | 28 |
| Total Rebounds | 53 | 49 |
| Second Chance Points | 18 | 10 |
Both teams matched each other on the offensive glass (13 apiece), but Portland was significantly better at converting those second chances — 61.5% second chance FG% vs. Phoenix’s 35.7%. Toumani Camara’s 10 rebounds (3 offensive) were central to Portland’s extra possession advantage.
Plus/Minus Leaders: Who Made the Biggest Impact
Portland:
| Player | +/- |
|---|---|
| Jerami Grant | +29 |
| Toumani Camara | +26 |
| Scoot Henderson | +18 |
| Kris Murray | +9 |
Phoenix:
| Player | +/- |
|---|---|
| Khaman Maluach | +6 |
| Koby Brea | +1 |
| Jalen Green | -6 |
| Mark Williams | -13 |
| Ryan Dunn | -18 |
Ryan Dunn’s -18 as a starter is a number Phoenix’s coaching staff will want to look at in film. On the other end, Khaman Maluach (the young center) was one of the only Suns players who finished in positive territory.
Pace and Possessions
| Stat | Portland | Phoenix |
|---|---|---|
| Possessions | 93.84 | 97.64 |
| Offensive Efficiency | 0.98 pts/poss | 0.79 pts/poss |
| Defensive Efficiency | 0.82 pts/poss allowed | 0.94 pts/poss allowed |
Portland was more efficient on both ends of the floor. That 0.19 points-per-possession gap on offense (0.98 vs 0.79) over 90+ possessions is a massive margin at the NBA level.
Takeaways and What It Means Going Forward
Portland continues to show signs of a team building real identity. Their ability to dominate in the paint, protect the rim, and capitalize on turnovers is a formula that travels well. Grant’s efficiency as the primary option is something to watch in upcoming matchups against tougher Western Conference opponents.
Phoenix has real questions. Their 36.5% field goal percentage, 23 turnovers, and 25.7% three-point shooting are not outliers right now — they represent a team that’s struggling to find consistent offensive structure. The Suns’ biggest lead all night was just +3, while Portland’s was +20. That gap in competitive equity tells the story of how one-sided this game was from start to finish.
Biggest factors in the Portland win:
- Superior paint scoring (+18 advantage)
- Rim protection (11 blocks disrupting Phoenix’s interior game)
- Jerami Grant’s elite efficiency night
- Fast break dominance (17 to 6)
- Turnover conversion (24 points off 23 Phoenix turnovers)
Final Score and Summary
Portland Trail Blazers 92, Phoenix Suns 77
This wasn’t a game that was as close as the score might suggest. Portland led by as much as 20 points, and the Blazers’ biggest structural advantages — paint presence, rim protection, and offensive efficiency — were on full display from the second quarter onward.
The Portland Trail Blazers vs Phoenix Suns match player stats from February 22, 2026 confirm what the final score already shows: this was Portland’s game from the moment they started pushing the pace in the second quarter, and Phoenix never had the offensive firepower to answer back.
