 CHICAGO (AP) - Leandro Barbosa couldn't remember making a shot like this — not in the NBA, anyway. But he took the pass from Boris Diaw, buried the 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left and the Phoenix Suns pulled out a 97-96 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.
"They (showed) a lot of confidence in me; this was my biggest shot since playing for Brazil," said Barbosa, a member of the Brazilian national team since 2002.
Ben Gordon gave the Bulls a 96-94 lead when he hit two free throws with 5.2 seconds left. The Suns decided to go for the win, and after a timeout, Diaw caught the inbound pass near the right block. Steve Nash set a pick on Gordon and Barbosa caught Diaw's pass near the top of the key and buried the winning shot.
