If you told the Knicks that they 'd lose Derrick Rose to injury , have Carmelo Anthony shoot 20 percent and see Kristaps Porzingis foul out , it likely would n't be a pretty result . Despite all that , New York overcame a double - digit deficit in the fourth quarter to send the game to overtime , but still could n't quite prevail . The key to victory for the Suns was defense , as they held the Knicks to 39 percent shooting and out - rebounded them , 61 - 43 . Despite fouling out , Porzingis led the team with 34 points , eight rebounds , three steals and three blocks in the loss . Kyle O'Quinn was huge off the bench for New York , totaling 22 points and 14 rebounds . Eric Bledsoe was the Suns best player , accumulating 31 points , six rebounds and eight assists . Tyson Chandler was a monster down low , scoring 13 points and snatching down a season - high 23 rebounds . Both Devin Booker and Carmelo Anthony struggled big time , as Anthony went 3 - of - 15 and Booker went 3 - of - 16 . The Phoenix Suns defeated the New York Knicks , 113 - 111 , at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Tuesday . While this game was tight throughout the final 15 minutes , it took some major swings to get there . In fact , New York went on a 22 - 6 run to start the fourth quarter to take an unlikely lead after trailing by 12 points headed into the fourth . There were only four ties and 11 lead changes , as Phoenix led for nearly 40 minutes of this game . Defense was key for the Suns , as they held the Knicks to 39 percent shooting and out - rebounded them , 61 - 43 . New York ( 14 - 11 ) did a great job of fighting through adversity and coming back in this game , but it simply was n't enough . Kristaps Porzingis carried the load , as he tallied 34 points , eight rebounds , three steals and three blocks before fouling out in overtime . Kyle O'Quinn was the Knicks second best player , accruing 22 points and 14 rebounds off the bench . Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose struggled mightily , as Anthony went 3 - of - 15 en route to 13 points , while Rose went 0 - of - 6 before exiting with back spasms . Things do n't get any easier for New York , as they play the Golden State Warriors on the road for their next game . This marks the Suns ( 8 - 17 ) fifth overtime game this season , as they were able to prevail despite choking in the fourth quarter . Eric Bledsoe was the player of the game , as he accumulated 31 points , six rebounds and eight assists in the victory . Tyson Chandler continued his rebounding dominance , totaling 13 points and 23 rebounds . Marquese Chriss had his best game of the year , scoring 14 points and grabbing 12 boards . P.J . Tucker finished with 13 points , seven rebounds and three steals , while locking down Carmelo Anthony . Devin Booker had a game to forget , amassing just 12 points , one rebound and no assists on 3 - of - 16 shooting . On deck for the Suns is a tough home matchup against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday .
