Rookie Tyler Ulis made a three-point basket at the buzzer after a Boston turnover and the host Phoenix Suns came away with a 109-106 victory Sunday.

The Suns’ Eric Bledsoe tied the score, 106-106, with a reverse layup with four seconds to play.

Isaiah Thomas, who scored 35 points but missed a free throw with 11.9 seconds left, took the inbounds pass and the Suns’ Marquese Chriss knocked the ball away. Ulis grabbed it and tossed it up as the buzzer sounded.
