Regular Season Round 20: Phoenix Suns - Brooklyn N. 103-110
Date: January 13, 2012
Deron Williams had 35 points, his most since coming to New Jersey at last season's trade deadline, as well as 14 assists and the Nets held off the short-handed Phoenix Suns 110-103 Friday night for just their third victory in 12 games this season. Phoenix, playing without Steve Nash and Grant Hill because of injuries, was down by three at the half before the Nets pulled away with a barrage of 3-pointers. A rally in the final minutes by the Suns fell short. Williams tied a career high with six 3-pointers. MarShon Brooks scored 20, Anthony Morrow 16 and Kris Humphries 15 for the Nets, who snapped a three-game skid. Ronnie Price, starting in place of Nash, scored a career-high 18 and had eight assists in Phoenix's third loss in a row, the last two at home. Marcin Gortat had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Suns. Jared Dudley added 18 points. New Jersey, on its second stop of a four-game trip, made 15 of 32 3-pointers, with Williams going 6 of 9 and Morrow 4 of 7. Nash, the NBA assist leader, was sidelined with a right quad contusion, described by coach Alvin Gentry as a charley horse. Hill has a right quad tendon strain. Both injuries occurred in the Suns' home loss to Cleveland on Thursday night. Brooks' driving layup with 4:14 remaining gave New Jersey a 102-93 lead. He was fouled on the play but missed the free throw and the Suns' rally began. Brown hit a mid-range jumper, then Channing Frye found a pair of teammates for layups, first Gortat and then Brown, to cut it to 102-99 with 2:48 remaining. It got no closer. Price forced up an errant 3-pointer, then Brooks found Humphries for a dunk and New Jersey led 104-99 1:47 from the finish. Morrow's 3-pointer on a pass from Williams sealed it at 107-99 with 50 seconds left. Neither team led by more than five points in the first half, with the Nets up 54-51 at the break. Williams, who missed just once in his first seven 3-point attempts, put his team in control in the third quarter. He sank three 3s in a row in a 9-2 run that gave the Nets an 86-79 lead with 1:39 left in the third quarter. New Jersey led 88-82 entering in the fourth. After Hakim Warrick's layup cut the lead to 91-88 with 10 minutes to play, the Nets ran off the next 10 points. Brooks' 3-pointer, followed by his 11-foot bank shot, put New Jersey ahead 100-88 with 6:58 to play. *Courtesy of www.miamiherald.com
