Bradley Beal came off the bench for the first time in nine years and scored 25 points as the Phoenix Suns ended a four-game skid with a 109-99 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night. Beal was shifted to a reserve role before the game and scored 20 points in the second half as the Suns overcame an early 12-point deficit and won for the second time in nine games.

The Phoenix Suns and Philadelphia 76ers have fallen way short of their preseason expectations. Both teams have losing records going into their Monday matchup in Philadelphia. The Suns conclude their three-game road trip Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets in the second of back-to-back.
