 LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Phoenix Suns weren't about to blow a big fourth-quarter lead a second time, although they came close. Shawn Marion had 30 points and 11 rebounds, Steve Nash had 17 assists and 12 points, and the Suns held off the weary Los Angeles Lakers 122-112 on Thursday night.
The Suns, who blew a 17-point lead in the final quarter before losing 111-108 to Dallas in double overtime Tuesday night to start the season, led by 17 with 8 1/2 minutes left in this game.
But the Kobe Bryant-led Lakers got as close as three points before the Suns scored the game's final seven points.
