The Phoenix Suns started sluggish against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, but put together a late run in the 4th quarter to push a 110-110 tie w/ 0.9 seconds left.

On Tuesday night, the Phoenix Suns trounced the Milwaukee Bucks in PHX for their 2nd win in a row and 21st in a row against the Bucks in AZ.
