Suns bog down in fourth quarter to fall to Trail Blazers

After seeing how the Suns lost a home game Friday night to Portland on Star Wars night, Yoda might advise them to unlearn what they have learned.

The Suns handled closing out games better to win the previous two games but let victory slip through their hands Friday when the Trail Blazers blew open a tie game in the final six minutes for a 106-96 victory at Talking Stick Resort Arena.

The Suns (10-14) are now tied with the Trail Blazers (10-14) after falling to 6-6 at home this season with Friday’s loss to a Portland team that had lost 11 of its previous 16 games.
