Harris scores 47 as Nets stun the Suns

Devin Harris was on the attack and the Phoenix Suns had no defense for him.

Harris scored a career-high 47 points, including 21 in the fourth quarter, and the New Jersey Nets ended their 14-game losing streak at Phoenix by rallying to beat the Suns, 117-109, Sunday night.

The Nets had not won at US Airways Center since their first visit in 1993, but they used a late run to overcome the Suns.

With Harris becoming the second player in two games to score more than 40 against the Suns -- Miami’s Dwyane Wade had 43 Friday night -- the Nets scored their second road victory in two nights, after beating Utah on Saturday. Harris, whose previous high was 38 points, made 14 of 25 shots and 17 of 17 free throws in a dazzling performance.

“I was just in attack mode,” said Harris, who scored 34 points in the victory over Utah. “That’s the key to my pull-up jumper. Before in my career, I wasn’t able to hit it with any consistency.”

For the second straight game, the Suns were turnover prone. They committed 22 turnovers, leading to 33 New Jersey points.

Vince Carter had 28 points for New Jersey, Yi Jianlian had 14 and Brook Lopez had 12.

Steve Nash, who sat out Friday’s game because of a thigh contusion, led the Suns with 26 points and nine assists. Amare Stoudemire had 25 points and 12 rebounds before being ejected with his second technical foul -- for arguing with an official -- with 3 minutes 24 seconds remaining and Phoenix leading, 100-98.
