The Phoenix Suns (7 - 5) came out with the win against the Denver Nuggets (6 - 7) by a score of 114 - 107. Denver led most of the game and was up 81 - 69 with 4:21 left in the third but from then on Phoenix went on a 45 - 26 run to close out the game and finish on top. Phoenix's back court has been absolute fire so far this season and scorched the score card once again on Friday night. Brandon Knight led the way for Phoenix with a monstrous 38 points on 11 - 20 shooting, including 6 - 10 from deep and posted a double - double with 11 rebounds; he also had six assists. Eric Bledsoe did his part by contributing 22 points, three assists and two steals. Mirza Teletovic provided supplementary scoring in 20 minutes off the bench with 15 points on 6 - 10 shooting; he also grabbed five rebounds and dished three assists. The Suns as a team shot a solid 50 percent from the field. The Nuggets played well but collapsed in the second half as they conceded to the red hot Suns. Denver had five players score in double digits but had no one step up in the clutch to counter the Suns' punch. Rookie Emmanuel Mudiay had a great game, which is surely a bright spot for the Nuggets. Mudiay finished with 26 points on 10 - 16 shooting and five assists. He did however have an alarming six turnovers in 29 minutes. Gary Harris finished with 20 points on 8 - 13 shooting in 28 minutes. Danilo Gallinari posted a solid double - double with 15 points and 10 rebounds, along with four assists and two blocks, but shot a poor 4 - 14 from the field and could not come up clutch. Next up for Denver is a vist from the league leading Golden State Warriors on Sunday. The Suns will look to continue winning Sunday as they visit the lowly New Orleans Pelicans.
