Phoenix and the Brooklyn Nets were chippy throughout Tuesday’s 106-102 Suns win, a late kerfuffle involving Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, Terrance Mann, Dillon Brooks, Egor Dёmin and others going down as the messiest moment.
O’Neale poked the ball out from behind Mann in the backcourt with Allen, Brooklyn’s Ziaire Williams and others diving for the loose ball. As Brooks reached down to take the ball from Williams, Dёmin came over to push Brooks down from above the pile.

The two sides jawed back and forth afterwards, landing with three technical fouls for Brooklyn (Dёmin, Mann and Michael Porter Jr., who was seen shoving Phoenix assistant DeMarre Carroll) and two for Phoenix (O’Neale and Allen).
Because the Nets had more technicals from the kerfuffle, the Suns were awarded one free throw, which Allen missed to keep it a two-point Phoenix lead approaching the final minute. The game had less than 90 seconds left before the sequence, and the replay took more than eight minutes to process what had happened.
While he didn’t make the earlier free throw, Allen had the dagger layup to make it a four-point game with 11.8 seconds left coming out of a spinning drive. Brooklyn came up empty on the ensuing possession.
Phoenix survived Brooklyn, which had lost five straight entering the matchup, while playing without Devin Booker, Jalen Green or Collin Gillespie.
Suns’ Dillon Brooks on brink of suspension
It was key for Brooks to not pick up a technical in the kerfuffle, as he was called for his 15th technical foul late in the first half, putting him one away from a one-game suspension if it’s not rescinded by the league.

The technical foul came after a first-quarter flagrant 1 call for following through Nic Claxton’s groin while reaching for a loose ball.
