Suns rookie Marquese Chriss was going to get a lesson for one thing or another Sunday.
It was for his behavior, when he earned a technical foul after going to the bench for his second first-quarter foul, but there were also basketball lapses for the 19-year-old rookie.
Chriss had already earned a bench spot to start the second half, before Alex Len gave the Suns the more physical frontcourt presence at power forward they needed to battle Denver. Chriss returned in Phoenix's 120-114 home loss to the Nuggets but finished the game with two points, no rebounds and five fouls in 10 minutes.
