"Finally, some luck has turned our way," he said during the final seconds of Saturday night's game.

The Nuggets rallied for a 106-98 victory over the Phoenix Suns in front of State Sen. Rob Hernandez, D-Denver, and 13,592 others at the Pepsi Center. The Nuggets finished with a 24-4 run to win their second game in a row without Nuggets coach Dan Issel, who is serving a four-game suspension for making an ethnic insult toward a fan Tuesday after after a 99-96 home loss to the Charlotte Hornets.
