ATLANTA (AP) – Taurean Prince knew the Atlanta Hawks had the perfect setup for a dramatic 3-pointer.

Get Miles Plumlee to set a screen close to the arc, and Prince would take care of the rest.

“It’s a great feeling,” Prince said. “Hopefully, I’ll put up more.”

Prince hit the go-ahead 3 with 7.6 seconds remaining and finished with 22 points, helping the Hawks hold off the Phoenix Suns 113-112 on Sunday.

Devin Booker’s potential winner for Phoenix, a 15-foot shot from the right baseline, bounced off the rim with Tyler Dorsey defending as time expired.
