PHOENIX -- Poise down the stretch has not always been a virtue of the Denver Nuggets.It certainly was Sunday.It seemed that every time Phoenix pulled close, Denvers Wilson Chandler or Jameer Nelson would make a big shot and the Nuggets held on for a 120-114 victory.I am pretty cool all the time. That is just my demeanor, always laid back, Chandler said. I dont really think about it (taking and making a big shot). It is just another shot, if I miss it or if I make it.Chandler scored 25 points and Nelson 21.The fourth quarter we showed a lot of poise down the stretch, Denver coach Michael Malone said. Guys stepped up and made big plays, made big free throws and we also got the ball inbounds, which has been an issue sometimes this year.Denver withstood an impressive second-half scoring onslaught by Suns guards Eric Bledsoe and Devin Booker.Bledsoe led Phoenix with a career-high 35 points, 21 in the second half. Booker added 30, 25 in the last two quarters.Coach Earl Watson benched Marquease Chriss to start the second half after the 19-year-old rookie drew a technical foul from the bench in the first half.Bench Ts put you on the bench in the second half, Watson said. Its a teachable moment, its an accountable moment. But hell learn. He knows I love him. Hell learn.With Alex Len replacing Chriss, the Suns had a big lineup and it worked.The Nuggets led by 20 at the half but Booker and Bledsoe led a rally that cut the lead to three early in the fourth quarter.Denver gained a slightly larger cushion from there before the Suns cut it to four in the final minute but could get no closer.Emmanuel Mudiay added 19 points for the Nuggets.The Nuggets used a 16-point outburst that started late in the first quarter and extended well into the second to build their 20-point advantage. They outscored the Suns 34-15 in the second quarter to lead 53-33 at the break.Bledsoe and Booker brought the Suns almost all the way back.Four consecutive Phoenix 3-pointers -- two by Booker, one by Bledsoe and one by P.J. Tucker -- cut the lead to 80-76, and five straight points by Brandon Knight -- a three-point play and two free throws -- sliced the Denver it to 86-83 with 10:49 to play.The Nuggets scored the next eight points, including 3s by Chandler and Jamal Murray, lifted the visitors out of trouble. But Phoenix managed one more threat.Bookers driving layup down the lane cut it to 114-110 with 38.4 to play. The teams traded a pair of free throws to make it 116-112 with 12.4 seconds left before Murray sealed it with two from the line.It is very disappointing, Bledsoe said. At the same time, we came out the second half and played like we are supposed to play.BLEDSOES STREAKBledsoe is on a roll.

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St.PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Flyers acquired defenceman Mark Streit from the New York Islanders Wednesday for minor-league forward Shane Harper and a fourth-round pick in 2014. Streit, the Islanders team captain, has 65 goals and 288 points in 491 regular-season NHL games, and is a sharp, left-handed shot from the blue line that is much-needed as Philadelphia reshapes its roster. Streit, though, is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 5, meaning he can sign anywhere. But the Flyers now own his rights until then, and can negotiate a new deal with him exclusively until that time. "Im pretty confident," Streit said when asked about the chances that the Flyers and his representation can connect on a deal. "Maybe they need a few days or weeks, but Im pretty positive. Itd be awesome to play for the Flyers. The future is bright. They were in the (Stanley) Cup finals three years ago and there is so much skill and a great mix between veteran players and young players, so Im pretty confident. "I truly hope its going to get done soon." The 35-year-old Streit joined the Islanders as a free agent in 2008, led the team in scoring his first season with 56 points and was an all-star. Should he stay with Philadelphia, he would bolster the Flyers blue-line, which was decimated by injuries last season and was a prime reason the club did not make tthe post-season.dddddddddddd "This year was a short season and they had lots of injuries," Streit said. "That makes it tough. It was a special year because of the lockout. That gave an advantage to some teams and some teams struggled. But when you see the Flyers lineup, it is a playoff team. Its no question to me. I believe the Flyers will be in the playoffs next year. They have the skill and the physical part of it. "Its a great group and Id love to join that team." Streit made $4.1 million this season in New York, and had six goals and 27 points. "Mark is a player we would have had interest in on July 5th," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. "We now have exclusive negotiating rights and we are hopeful that we can get an agreement in place prior to him becoming an unrestricted free agent." Though he has impressive scoring totals for a defenceman, Streits value -- and his reputation around the league -- is more for being a workhorse and an anchor on defence. This season, as the Islanders secured the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference, Streit played in all 48 games. He also had three goals and five points in a six-game, first-round loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Streit also played for Switzerlands Olympic team in 2006 and 2010. Harper had 20 goals and 21 assists over parts of four seasons with the AHLs Phantoms. ' ' '
