Morant scored 18 points in the second half and shot 10 of 19 from the field. He added eight rebounds and seven assists.
Booker shot just 10 of 26 from the field. Williams got his first start with the Suns and finished with 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting and 11 rebounds.
The Suns have dropped four straight since beating the Sacramento Kings in the opening game of the season.
Phoenix led 53-49 at halftime. Collin Gillespie had 13 of his 14 points before the break.
