 CHICAGO (AP) - Leandro Barbosa hit a 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds remaining and the Phoenix Suns rallied to a 97-96 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.
Ben Gordon gave the Bulls a 96-94 lead when he hit two free throws with 5.2 seconds left, but Phoenix wasn't finished. After a timeout, the Suns' Boris Diaw caught the inbound near the right block and passed to Barbosa at the top of the key for the winning shot.
It was a bitter ending for the Bulls, who got a career-high 41 points from Gordon and led by as many as 16 in the first half. Chicago, which had won 16 of 19 and had a chance to move into the Eastern Conference lead, took a 10-point lead into the fourth quarter.
