PHOENIX • Devin Booker made two free throws with 2.4 seconds remaining to give the Phoenix Suns a 118-117 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night.

Phoenix moved within a game of Utah for the No. 1 seed in the NBA and Western Conference with two games to play.

Booker’s foul shots were set up when Portland’s Robert Covington was fouled and missed both free throws with 4.4 seconds left, giving the Suns one last chance. Booker was fouled by Norman Powell as he went up for a jumper.

Portland’s C. J. McCollum missed a 3-point shot at the buzzer — after an apparent over-and-back violation — to end it.

Chris Paul led Phoenix with 26 points on 11-of-14 shooting. Mikal Bridges had 21 points and 11 rebounds, and Booker had 18 points but shot just 5 of 17 from the field.
