The Suns outscored the Nuggets 31-17 in the fourth quarter and although they had the ball and a 101-99 lead with just 15 seconds to go, the Suns left the door open after Eric Bledsoe only hit only one of two free throws. On the next possession, Lawson brought the ball to the right side of the court and found an open Randy Foye behind two screens, but his three-pointer came up just short. Markieff Morris then hit one of two free throws to ice it.

The Suns continue to surprise with a 15-10 record while the Nuggets are now 14-11.
