With Phoenix leading 93–90, Goodwin was able to get a chasedown block of a Kent Bazemore dunk attempt. Atlanta’s Kyle Korver managed to grab the rebound while falling down, but passed it back to Devin Booker from the Suns around midcourt. The rookie guard proceeded to miss a layup attempt on the other end, which was defended well by Al Horford.
Suns center Tyson Chandler grabbed the rebound and found a cutting Goodwin who also missed the point-blank shot. Atlanta immediately took advantage, grabbing the rebound and starting a fast break with Dennis Schroder eventually finding Bazemore for a wide-open three to tie the game.
