PHOENIX (AP) – Tyson Chandler learned of the Suns’ crafty inbounds play when Jay Triano took over as coach early this season. With 0.6 seconds left in a tie game Tuesday night, he asked Triano during a timeout if Phoenix was going to run it.
Triano said yes.
Dragan Bender and Chandler did the rest.
Bender threw a perfect pass at the rim from the opposite sideline, Chandler jumped over the Grizzlies’ Brandan Wright to slam it down with 0.4 seconds remaining, and the Suns beat the Memphis Grizzlies 99-97.
After replay review for offensive goaltending, the basket counted, and the Grizzlies couldn’t get off a decent shot before the final buzzer.
