NBA releases top 10 highlights of Phoenix Suns’ 2012-13 season

Sep 17, 2013, 1:16 AM | Updated: 2:04 am

The 2012-13 season was mostly one that the Phoenix Suns and their fans would like to forget.

It wasn’t without its moments, however. There were the two home wins in late January over the Los Angeles teams (Lakers and Clippers); there was another home win over the Lakers (23-point blowout) on Mar. 18; on Dec. 12, 2012, Goran Dragic made a game-winning flip shot at home against the Memphis Grizzlies; and there was the come-from-behind road win in overtime over the San Antonio Spurs on Feb. 27, in which Jermaine O’Neal turned back the clock at least 10 years, making key play after key play.

The NBA has released its top 10 Suns plays of last year on both its website and YouTube account. In the video, you’ll see quite a few Dragic passes between a defender’s legs, several Marcin Gortat dunks and a few highlights from now-departed Suns, such as Jared Dudley, Michael Beasley and Wesley Johnson.

Perhaps the most meaningful play — in the context of a game — happened in the aforementioned San Antonio contest: O’Neal grabbed a Manu Ginobili missed free throw and fired an almost full-court pass to Johnson, who turned around and made a three at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.

See where that play lands in NBA.com’s list:
