The Suns used a dominating second half to beat the Knicks on Sunday.
New York, playing the fourth of a five-game West swing, stayed in the game in the first half behind Brunson, who scored 11 of his points in the second quarter. The Knicks erased an 11-point Phoenix lead late in that period but Bridges' runner rolled around and in to give the Suns a 55-53 lead at the break.
The Suns outscored the Knicks 35-22 in the third period. They extended their lead to 90-73 on 3s from Booker and Duane Washington Jr. and led by as many as 26 points in the fourth quarter.The Knicks did have a 10-0 run in the final period, but still trailed by 16. "You want to try to get it inside 10, and with the way people shoot the 3s you can make up ground quickly, but they're a really good defensive team as well," Thibodeau said.
Payne's 10 points — all scored early in the first quarter — led the Suns in the first half. Craig scored nine points in the second quarter, including a pair of dunks and a 3-pointer. New York's Brunson had 13 to lead all scorers.C Mitchell Robinson returned after missing eight games with a right knee sprain. He finished with two points and four rebounds in 17 minutes. F Cam Reddish was injured Friday against Golden State and did not play.
