PHOENIX — Stephen Jackson helped the Charlotte Bobcats reach a small franchise milestone.

He scored 30 points and Charlotte scored nine of the first 12 points in overtime to beat the Suns 114-109 Tuesday night for the Bobcats’ first victory in Phoenix in their six seasons in the NBA.

“All teams in the league play better at home. We were playing catch-up all game, but on the road you have to find a way to hang around and pull it out at the end,” Jackson said.

Jackson, who tied the game at 98 on a three-pointer with 19.9 seconds remaining, hit a 20-foot jump shot on the Bobcats’ first possession of overtime to give Charlotte only its second lead of the game.

Raymond Felton had six of his 17 points in overtime as Charlotte stretched its lead to six. The Bobcats broke a three-game losing streak.

Steve Nash had 23 points and nine assists for the Suns, who have lost seven of their last nine.

Former Suns player Boris Diaw had 24 points and Gerald Wallace had 21.

The Suns made 15 of 34 three-pointers and are 32 of 64 in their last two games, setting a season record for threes made in two consecutive games. They average just over nine per game, second in the NBA to Orlando.

“I thought our defense gave us a chance to win,” Charlotte coach Larry Brown said. “We kept saying if we can stay in the game, stay close, those shots (the Suns made) become tougher. We really hung on.”

Nash made five of nine three-point attempts while Channing Frye was four of seven and Jared Dudley was four of eight.

Diaw added 11 rebounds for a double-double, and he also had five assists. The Bobcats outrebounded the Suns 48-41.

Dudley gave the Suns an 87-82 lead with 8:06 remaining before a driving layup by Wallace put Charlotte up 88-87 with 6:09 left for its first lead of the game.
