SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 28 points, Jusuf Nurkic made a late free throw and the Phoenix Suns rallied to beat the Sacramento Kings 108-107 on Friday night.

With the game tied at 107 after Phoenix overcame a 16-point deficit, Domantas Sabonis fouled Nurkic fighting for the rebound off a missed shot by the Suns’ Grayson Allen. Nurkic, who finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds, missed the first, but made the second to give the Suns the lead with 8.1 seconds to play.

Bradley Beal then stripped De’Aaron Fox as Fox attempted to pull up for a potential winning shot on the other end. Fox claimed that Beal fouled him on the play, and Kings coach Mike Brown said it looked as if Beal swiped Fox on the arm.

“He wasn’t even close to the ball,” Fox said.

Brown lamented his team not getting the benefit of the whistle, also complaining about the box-out foul on Sabonis in a close affair, “when the game is as physical as it is.”
