Boston, Las Vegas, New York, Mexico City, London and Tokyo are just some of the cities around the world where PUMA will drop free pairs of PUMA’s latest Deviate NITRO™ 3, Forever Run, and other new PUMA running shoes out in the wild at 5am at high points, to reward the dedication of early-morning runners chasing the runner’s high.

As part of PUMA’s Go Wild brand campaign, 5AM High Drops is timed with the start of spring and peak marathon training season. In line with the most recent approach from PUMA, joining the so-called 5am run club comes with a list of benefits that effect everything from your performance to your mental health. As more individuals embrace outdoor activity and chase the runner's high, the global giveaway inspires everyone to unleash their true selves and Go Wild.

All runners need to do to win, is to be one of the first ones to run to one of the ‘high drop’ locations announced on PUMA’s participating local Instagram channels at 5am on the specified date. Between April and May, the first runners to reach their local ‘high drop’ location will receive a free pair of Deviate NITRO™ 3, Forever Run, and other new PUMA running shoes as a reward for their commitment to early morning running.

Erin Longin, VP Run/Train at PUMA says, " We’re so excited to provide an opportunity for runners worldwide to Go Wild with 5AM High Drops. At PUMA, we want to champion those with a passion for running, especially as more people start to train and enjoy the outdoors this spring.

" The global giveaway is built with our philosophy at heart, which emphasises sport as a space for self-expression and enjoyment. The 5AM High Drops encourages everyone to embrace their unique dedication to the runner's high with confidence, particularly during this peak running period."

5AM High Drops follows the latest brand campaign video from PUMA that found that inappropriate weather ranked as the highest barrier to running in the USA (42%), indicating that now is the most ideal time of year for PUMA to empower runners worldwide. This activation celebrates runners re-arranging their lives to chase the runner’s high, highlighting an uptake in the sport and an area for PUMA to champion those dedicated individuals that chase the runner’s high before the sunrise.

PUMA’s 5AM High Drops comes as part of PUMA’s latest global brand campaign, “Go Wild”. For more information on Go Wild, see here.

PHOENIX (AP) — Devin Booker hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 0.7 seconds remaining, Jordan Goodwin scored 26 points with a career-high eight 3-pointers and the Phoenix Suns beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-105 on Sunday night.

Booker took the late inbounds pass and drilled the long 3-pointer over Alex Caruso, shaking a season-long slump from long range. Ajay Mitchell missed a corner 3 at the buzzer that would have tied it.

Oklahoma City's four-game winning streak was snapped and the team fell to 30-6, which is still the best record in the NBA. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 25 points while Jalen Williams had 23.

The Suns — who trailed by 18 in the second quarter — won despite coughing up a late four-point lead.

Suns guard Dillon Brooks made a tough 3-pointer over Gilgeous-Alexander with 36 seconds left to give the Suns a 105-101 advantage. Chet Holmgren hit a turnaround jumper to cut it to 105-103 with 26 seconds remaining.

Brooks had a turnover on the ensuing possession and Williams made a step-back jumper to tie it at 105 with 8.2 seconds left.

But Booker's big shot erased the late problems. He finished with 24 points. Brooks scored 22. Goodwin made 9 of 16 shots off the bench, including 8 of 13 from behind the arc.

The Suns trailed 49-31 in the second quarter, but rallied for a 71-70 lead late in the third on Ryan Dunn's 3-pointer. Phoenix took a 74-73 advantage into the fourth.

The Thunder built a 24-9 lead in the first while the Suns missed their first eight 3-point attempts. Oklahoma City led 49-31 late in the second but settled for a 49-42 halftime lead after Phoenix closed on an 11-0 run.

Luguentz Dort and Williams both had 10 points for the Thunder before the break. Goodwin led the Suns with nine.

Thunder: Host Charlotte on Monday night.

Suns: At Houston on Monday night.
