The Phoenix Suns returned home and had a nail-biter against the New York Knicks, taking a 112-107 win on Friday night. While the first half started hot for the Suns, the second was the opposite.

As the Suns near the midway point of the season, they are 23-15, all but set to play some form of postseason basketball in the play-in or playoffs.

Devin Booker scored 31 points, Dillon Brooks added 27 and the pair combined for nine 3-pointers as the host Phoenix Suns held off the New York Knicks 112-107 on Friday.

Phoenix was without Jalen Green (right hamstring strain) and two-way player Jamaree Bouyea (concussion protocol). The Phoenix Suns have limited Memphis Grizzlies to 38.3% shooting in building their largest lead of the game, 65-47, at the half.
