Bledsoe, Suns beat Knicks 113-111 in OT

Published January 31, 2017

PHOENIX (AP) Eric Bledsoe scored the go-ahead points on a driving, left-handed layup with 30 seconds to play and the Phoenix Suns beat New York 113-111 in overtime on Tuesday night, only the Knicks' second loss in eight games.

Bledsoe scored eight consecutive points late in OT and finished with 31, his third consecutive 30-point game.

Kristaps Porzingis scored 34 points for New York, one shy of his career high, before fouling out with 1:34 left in OT.

Carmelo Anthony capped a 3-for-15 shooting night with an air ball that resulted in a 24-second clock violation with 5.9 seconds left.

Devin Booker's two free throws with 5.2 seconds remaining boosted the lead to 113-110, and the Suns, coming off an overtime home loss to New Orleans on Sunday night, held on from there.

Derrick Rose didn't play in the second half due to back spasms.
