The Phoenix Suns found themselves trailing the Portland Trail Blazers by 9 points heading into the 2nd quarter.
As a team, the Suns started 2-13 shooting, and without Kevin Durant, they needed somebody to step up and provide a spark.
That player, was Bol Bol.
Despite not playing meaningful minutes for nearly a month, Bol Bol immediately made an impact when he was subbed in early in the 2nd quarter.
All it took was a thunderous dunk to bring the crowd inside the Footprint Center to their feet. From there, Bol fed off the energy and he began one of his best stretches of his career.

At halftime, the Suns lead the Trail Blazers 55-47.
