The Phoenix Suns suffered a heartbreaking loss at the buzzer on Monday. On Tuesday, it was the Suns who were handing out the heartbreak.

Teletovic’s offensive rebound following a Jon Leuer missed three allowed him to put up the dramatic shot to cap off a 42 point last quarter for the Suns, a quarter where they outscored the Bulls by 18 points.
