The young Suns were still without their stars on Monday night — T.J. Warren only played 12 minutes before being ejected for arguing calls — but played their hearts out anyway and gave the visiting Clippers one hell of a game.
The Suns took a 104-95 lead on the Clippers early in the fourth quarter with a mix of hustle and Troy Daniels’ big shotmaking. But then they couldn’t hold the lead, and eventually needed a short jumper by De’Anthony Melton to tie the game at 111-111 with 5.5 seconds left to force overtime.
OVERTIME!
The Suns last went to overtime against the Celtics, also losing a late lead to a good team.
