The Phoenix Suns defeated the New York Knicks, 116-113, at Madison Square Garden on Sunday evening.

Despite playing without Kevin Durant, the Suns (11-6) opened the game by establishing a 34-22 lead through one and still held an eight-point advantage at halftime. While the Knicks (9-7) managed to lop off another five points from their deficit in the third, Phoenix ultimately prevailed in a defensive-themed final period where only 42 points were scored, with Devin Booker delivering the game-winning three-pointer with 1.1 seconds remaining.
