The Phoenix Suns (28 - 20) beat the Chicago Bulls (30 - 19) 99 - 93 on Friday. Phoenix was led by their starting backcourt of Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic. They combined for 44 points, six rebounds, 10 assists, four steals and two blocks. The Suns are 10 - 4 in January, having put together two separate four - game win streaks this month. Phoenix owns the eighth best record in the Western Conference. They're currently 3 games ahead of the New Orleans Pelicans, and would face the Golden State Warriors if the playoffs started today. The Bulls were coming off two straight overtime games on their West Coast road trip, and may have just ran out of gas. They kept themselves in it late, but Eric Bledsoe's layup with 10 seconds remaining put it in the bag for the Suns. Pau Gasol had a stellar January, averaging 20 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. He finished the month with another nice performance of 10 points and 19 rebounds. Gasol recorded nine straight double - doubles to end the month. The Suns have won two straight and will take on the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. The Bulls will have off until Wednesday when they face the Houston Rockets who have won four straight games.
