Owner Real Deal Posted January 3, 2013 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 PHOENIX -- Luis Scola and the Phoenix Suns have watched a lot of late leads vanish. On Wednesday, they found a way to hold on. Scola scored 19 of his 21 points in the second half and the Suns beat the Philadelphia 76ers 95-89 to snap a six-game losing streak. "It's only one win but we needed one win," Scola said. Phoenix, which leads the NBA with nine games decided by three points or fewer, led by nine entering the fourth and pushed the lead to 11, before the 76ers cut the lead to two. Jrue Holliday found Dorell Wright breaking down the left baseline from halfcourt for an alley-oop layup that pulled the 76ers within 87-85 with 2:16 to go. Goran Dragic made a pair of free throws, P.J. Tucker hit a 16-footer and the 76ers turned the ball over twice over the next minute as the Suns opened a 91-85 lead. "We do that regularly," Scola said. "The difference this time is we let a team get to two but we closed out the game. If we had been able to close [more] our record would be much better." Dragic added 20, Shannon Brown scored 12, and Marcin Gortat had 11 points and 14 rebounds for the Suns.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20130102_PHI@PHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
