PHOENIX (AP) – Devin Booker scored a season-high 47 points, Grayson Allen hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime and the short-handed Phoenix Suns rallied to beat the Utah Jazz 135-127.
With 0.9 seconds left in regulation, Allen caught an inbounds pass and hit the 3-pointer from the right wing to tie it at 122. Allen opened the extra period with another 3 and the Suns scored the first eight points of overtime to pull away and snap a three-game losing streak.
John Collins led Utah with 21 points. Lauri Markkanen added 20.
The Suns led 111-98 with 5:31 left in regulation, and the Jazz responded with a 13-0 run to tie it. Utah led 120-116 with 4.7 seconds left, but Allen hit two 3-pointers in the final five seconds for an improbable rally.
Allen finished with 21 points, hitting seven 3-pointers.
The Suns were playing without the injured Kevin Durant (ankle) and Bradley Beal (toe). Two other players – forward Cody Martin and guard Vasa Micic – were unavailable after being acquired from Charlotte.
