Who won Phoenix Suns vs. Portland Trail Blazers on November 4?

The quarter-by-quarter record makes the game flow clear. Phoenix held a narrow first-quarter lead, but Portland took control before halftime. The Trail Blazers then extended their advantage in the third, while the Suns won the fourth quarter without erasing the deficit.

How did Portland turn the game around against Phoenix?

The clearest swing occurred in the second period. Portland moved from a 34-29 first-quarter deficit to a 72-59 halftime lead, an 18-point advantage in the quarter itself. A further 32-26 edge in the third gave the visitors a 104-85 advantage entering the final period. The Suns scored 34 in the fourth, but Portland's 28 points kept the comeback out of reach.

Portland's full-game shooting also supports the story of a productive offense: the Trail Blazers made 44 of 86 field-goal attempts (51.2%) and 14 of 39 three-pointers (35.9%). Phoenix shot 41 of 92 overall (44.6%) and 10 of 36 from beyond the arc (27.8%). Portland recorded 29 assists to Phoenix's 26. These numbers describe the completed matchup; on their own, they do not prove a single tactical cause or establish what either team will do next.

Which players led the Trail Blazers and Suns?

Portland's balanced scoring and playmaking

Lillard's 25 points came with five assists. Clingan contributed 24 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks, while Avdija combined 21 points with a game-high 12 assists. Jrue Holiday added 15 points, all from five made three-pointers. That distribution meant Portland did not rely on just one scorer to reach 132.

Phoenix's leading scorers

Booker finished with a game-high 33 points and made all 13 of his free throws, according to the game recap and box score. Green scored 22, but the Suns could not match Portland's second-quarter production. Individual scoring totals should not be confused with a prediction of future form or with pregame season averages.

What time did Suns vs. Trail Blazers start, and where was it played?

The scheduled tipoff was Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. in Phoenix, MST (UTC-07:00), at Mortgage Matchup Center. This was the same instant as 9:00 p.m. in the U.S. Eastern time zone (EST, UTC-05:00), 6:00 p.m. in Portland (PST, UTC-08:00), and Thursday, November 5, at 02:00 UTC. The international date difference does not indicate a second game.

Phoenix remained on Mountain Standard Time because most of Arizona does not observe daylight saving time. Portland and the U.S. East Coast had already changed to standard time before the November 4 fixture. The NBA's official game center identifies Phoenix as the home team and Mortgage Matchup Center as the arena. The verified time above is the scheduled start, not a confirmed exact first-possession timestamp.

What did Portland's strong start mean going into this game?

Portland arrived at 5-1, a record that had placed the club third in the Western Conference in its pregame NBA listing. The league's Week 3 power rankings published November 2 placed the Trail Blazers ninth on a then-current 4-1 record, compared with Phoenix in 22nd place at 1-3 when that ranking was compiled. Those figures are dated snapshots, not the records after Wednesday's result.

With the Phoenix win included, the NBA's Portland team page shows 6-1 and first in the Western Conference at the time of this check. Phoenix stands at 1-5 in the final game record. Portland's continued road success strengthens the early-season picture, but seven games are not enough to establish a season-long trajectory.

What does the result mean for the next NBA fixtures?

Portland's next scheduled challenge is a road game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, November 6, followed by a home game against San Antonio on Saturday, November 7, according to the NBA's team schedule. Phoenix's seven-game homestand continues with Orlando on Thursday, November 5. These are calendar dates in the teams' fixture listings; fans should consult the individual game page for the applicable tipoff time and broadcast market.

The immediate verified consequence is a sixth Portland win and a fifth Phoenix loss. Any claim that Portland will maintain its conference position, or that Phoenix's defense will recover during the homestand, is a conditional outlook rather than a result. For on-court participation and any postgame status changes, the final NBA box score is stronger evidence than pregame injury designations; it documents who actually played but does not by itself establish why someone was absent.

Where can fans find the replay and official box score?

The Trail Blazers' game page links to the recap, player highlights and a replay option. The Suns' game page provides the official player box score. Replay access can depend on NBA League Pass or local broadcast rights; the presence of a replay link does not guarantee free access in every region.
