PHOENIX — Bryn Forbes sank a 3-pointer with 21.5 seconds to play and the severely depleted San Antonio Spurs held off a fourth-quarter Phoenix rally to beat the Suns 104-101 on Saturday night.
The Spurs left Pau Gasol and Manu Ginobili home to rest after a victory over against Boston on Friday night and had Danny Green (left groin tightness) and Kyle Anderson (left MCL sprain) out with injuries.
Still, they led by as many as 19 points in the third quarter before the Suns came back to take their first lead of the night, 100-99, on Marquese Chriss' breakaway dunk with 1:32 to go after a San Antonio turnover.
