Suns try for second straight as they host Nets

PHOENIX -- The Suns' chances of winning increase exponentially when Devin Booker plays.

Booker made two contested jump shots in the final half-minute of a 102-100 victory over Memphis on Sunday, including the game-winner with 1.7 seconds remaining as the Suns broke a seven-game losing streak. Three of those losses came when Booker was out with a strained left hamstring.

The Suns (2-7) will attempt to win two in a row for the first time this season against Brooklyn (4-6) on Tuesday.

D'Angelo Russell and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored 21 points apiece and leading scorer Caris LeVert had 20 for the Nets in a 122-97 blowout of Philadelphia on Sunday, when they converted 28 turnovers into 39 points.
