My profile:
NEW YORK -- The Phoenix Suns didn't have Charles Barkley again. Instead, Danny Manning took center stage ... again.
"Every night we have somebody else step up," said Manning, who scored 10 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter of the Suns' 115-110 victory over New Jersey on Sunday night. "We have a lot of guys who can go out and play and be very versatile. I think we can hold the fort until they can come back."
Barkley, who scored 23 points in his first game of the season Saturday in the Suns' 111-108 win over San Antonion, was back on the bench with a sore abdominal muscle. No matter.
With Manning averaging 20 points, leading the fourth-quarter surge, Phoenix won its third straight game.
Kenny Anderson's layup capped a 31-12 run that put New Jersey in front, 102-101, the Nets' first lead since the opening minute of the second quarter.
That's when Manning took over. He converted a 3-point play and sank two more free throws, all in a 25-second span. That keyed a 7-2 run that gave the Suns a 108-104 lead with 2:51 to play.
Derrick Coleman scored 30 points, while Anderson added 27 points and nine assists for the Nets, which lost for the seventh time in nine road games.
In other games Sunday:
Pistons 106, Warriors 91. Grant Hill and Joe Dumars scored 21 points each as Detroit handed Golden State its fourth straight loss, all on the road.
The Pistons blew a 21-point lead in the third quarter, then outscored the Warriors 32-13 in the fourth period, including a 24-5 streak, to win the game.
Jazz 94, Kings 89. Utah won its fourth straight game -- but its first in five road games -- as Karl Malone scored 25 points and Jeff Hornacek, 19. Malone also grabbed 14 rebounds and sank four free throws in the final 3:34. Mitch Richmond scored 25 points for the Kings.
Trail Blazers 99, Pacers 89. Clyde Drexler snapped out of a game-long shooting slump and scored nine fourth-quarter points, as Portland snapped Indiana's four-game winning streak.
