Nash, Frye Lead Suns Past Clippers

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Steve Nash had 23 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds, Channing Frye added 19 points and the Phoenix Suns surged early in the fourth quarter for a 108-99 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.

Frye hit two of his five 3-pointers in the final minutes of his second game back from a dislocated right shoulder for the Suns, who have won 10 of their last 11 meetings with the Clippers.

Blake Griffin scored 17 points before fouling out on an offensive foul with 4:09 left for the Clippers, who have lost three of four.

Chris Kaman had 21 points and 11 rebounds while starting for DeAndre Jordan, who sat out with pneumonia.

Nash showed no ill effects from a trip home to Vancouver on Saturday to attend the inaugural game of the Vancouver Whitecaps.
