Phoenix
He sure looks like he belongs now.
On a night where small players took center stage, the diminutive rookie, listed optimistically at 5-foot-10, threw in a 3-pointer at the buzzer after Isaiah Thomas’ turnover and the Phoenix Suns came away with a wild 109-106 victory over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
The Suns’ Eric Bledsoe tied it at 106 with a reverse layup with four seconds to play.
The 5-foot-9 Thomas, the league’s No. 2 scorer who had 35 points but missed a free throw with 11.9 seconds left, took the inbounds pass from Jae Crowder and the Suns’ Marquese Chriss knocked the ball away.
“He got a hand on it,” said Thomas, a former Sun. “I thought Jae would get it out quicker than he would. I don’t know if he was looking to see if we had a timeout or I don’t know what he was thinking to do.”
Ulis grabbed the ball and tossed it up as the buzzer sounded.
Ulis scored 20 points, a career best for the second game in a row. Bledsoe had 28 to help the Suns win three in a row for the first time this season.
