Marquese Chriss produced the play of the day, blocking Taurean Prince at the rim as he attempted to throw down an alley-oop that would have put the Hawks up by one with eight seconds remaining. 

Instead, Phoenix got the ball back and iced the game.


Phoenix trailed by 12 points in the final five minutes, but clawed their way back, thanks to 34 points from Devin Booker.


 

The Suns sharp-shooter added five rebounds and seven assists on the night, while TJ Warren added 31 points and five rebounds in the 104-103 win.
