Trail Blazers vs. Suns Play-In Results According to NBA 2K26

We’ve got the Portland Trail Blazers vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Play-In Tournament results according to NBA 2K26 to see who the game thinks will win. Both teams will fight for a chance to enter the playoffs and attempt to make history. No team who has surpassed the Play-In Round has ever won the NBA Championship. But advancing past this round at least gives them the chance to do so. So, without further ado, let’s see who NBA 2K thinks will win.

Who wins Trail Blazers vs. Suns NBA Play-In Tournament according to NBA 2K26?

According to our NBA 2K26 simulation, the Phoenix Suns will defeat the Portland Trail Blazers in the NBA Play-In Tournament 105-99.

The Trail Blazers almost came back from a 19 point deficit, but came up just short of a victory. Despite the Suns’ inability to maintain their lead, they did just enough to make it to the postseason.

TEAM Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4 FINAL
POR 16 21 31 31 99
PHX 22 29 30 24 105

Overall, it took the the Trail Blazers too long to get things going. They only managed to put up 16 points in the first quarter. Furthermore, they allowed the Suns to extend their lead in the second as they were outscored 29-21. By the end of the half, the Trail Blazers were trailing 37-51.

But things turned around in the second half. Overall, both teams performed much better offensively, with Portland dominating in the 3rd and fourth quarters. With just 36 seconds left in the fourth quarter, they lowered that 19 point deficit to just three.

However, Devin Booker shut down that comeback effort with a dunk to make things 101-96 with just 27 seconds left. After Portland failed to score, they were forced to foul, giving the Suns free points, and subsequently, the dub. The comeback effort fell just short of becoming a reality.

With the win, the Phoenix Suns advance to the NBA Playoffs, where they will face the #2 seed – The San Antonio Spurs. Although they fought hard to make it here, it will only become more difficult as they face teams who didn’t need to concern themselves with a Play-In.

Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers still get one more chance to salvage their season. However, they must win against the victor of the Clippers-Warriors matchup this week. But at least they get one more chance.
