PHOENIX, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Grant Hill's two foul shots gave Phoenix a five-point lead with 10 seconds left Tuesday, wrapping up the Suns' 107-102 victory over Atlanta.

Shaquille O'Neal led the way with 26 points and 10 rebounds as part of the Suns' third straight win and their sixth in seven games.

Steve Nash added 23 points, Leandro Barbosa had 22 and Amare Stoudemire 17.

Atlanta's Mike Bibby tied the game with a three-pointer with 2 minutes to go, after which O'Neal made a free throw and Nash hit a jumper to give Phoenix a 101-98 cushion.

Phoenix was still nursing a three-point lead when Hill went to the line with a chance to seal it. He did so with two of his six points.

Josh Smith had 24 points and 10 rebounds to lead Atlanta, which has lost four straight. The Hawks fought back into the game after trailing by 15 points through one period.
