The Suns recorded three straight wins for the first time this season. Their last game against Boston was a real treat. They won 109-106 in the crazy finish. Tyler Ulis was the hero with the buzzer-beating three pointer. 

- I realized right away that I will have the last shot of the game. I didn't expect things to go like this. I took that shot with a lot of confidence - Ullis said. He finished the game with 20 points, which improved his personal record for the second straight game. 

Booker was thrilled with his former Kentucky teammate's game:

- Everyone always looked at him as a point guard whose primary task is passing the ball, but he can do pretty much everything. I'm not surprised with his performances. I've already seen what he's capable of. He's NBA level and people will see that.

Bledsoe lead the team with 28 points. Booker followed suit with 16, Warren with 14 and 7 rebounds, while Chriss added 10 points. Alan Williams did great from the bench with 11 points and 15 rebounds. He's been doing much better than starter Len in the last few games which Chandler sat out. 

The Suns managed to get 4 straight wins home but they are now to face the Wizards, the team with best form this year. They recorded 3 wins in the last 4 games, the last one against Orlando 115-114 after a big comeback. 

They played a bad first half and got 16 point down but Bogdanovic saw them get a great win later on. In the third quarter, they were 11 points down and then managed to turn everything around. Bogadnovic hit the last points of the game and has hit 15 out of his 27 in that last quarter. He hit 8 three pointers from 10 attempts for a carrier-high record from the three point range. 

- I felt like I couldn't miss. I hope I'll have the same feeling in every game - Bogdanovic said with a smile. Ever since he moved to the Wizards, he's shooting has been 59 percent (20-for-34). It's no wonder coach Brooks was surprised:

- What I like about him is that he doesn't get nervous when he doesn't get the ball or when he doesn't score. 

Beal did great with 32 points with 12-for-21 shooting, while Wall wasn't that productive (19 points with 6-for-17 shooting) but he did record 10 assits and 6 rebounds. Porter recorded added double-digits too (11 points). 

After losing the first game to the Raptors due to the bad first half, it was clear why Scott Brooks was so angry at the Orlando game half time. 

- The coach basically chew us out. He asked us what team we're going to be? Are we going to be a team that doesn't respond well or are we going to do something about it and get our mojo back - Beal said.

The Wizards have 21 game left until the end and two road-trips of 5 games each. The first road trip is to start today. They are 11-15 away so far and they beat the Suns 106-101 home after a lot of problems and after making a comeback in the last quarter.
