MORE FROM THE GAME: Highlights | Photos | Stats
It might have been the first preseason opener that featured a standing crowd on the last defensive possession of the game.
That's what happens when regular season dramatics meet an exhibition setting. The Suns came out on top of the combination with a 102-98 win thanks to superb bench play and several late defensive stands. The victory was the first under the newly named Talking Stick Resort Arena, which was officially opened two hours before tip-off.
