Phoenix Suns survive Miami Heat, remain unbeaten in Orlando Bubble

The Phoenix Suns are still unbeaten.

No really, they are.

The Suns improved to 5-0 in "seeding" games after outlasting Miami, 119-112, Saturday at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex's Visa Athletic Center and further improve their playoff hopes.

Devin Booker scored a game-high 35 points while Jevon Carter scored 20 points off the bench, hitting 6-of-8 from 3.

With the win, Phoenix (31-39) moves within a half game of Portland, which is in ninth place in the Western Conference.

The Trail Blazers lost to the Los Angeles Clippers, 122-117, Saturday morning.

The Heat (43-27) were without Kendrick Nunn (left bubble for personal reasons), Jimmy Butler (foot) and Goran Dragic (ankle).
