SAN ANTONIO ? Two bank shots from three-point range — one by Amare Stoudemire late in regulation; the other by Stephon Marbury at the buzzer in overtime — gave the Phoenix Suns an unlikely victory.

Marbury banked in a running three-pointer after Tim Duncan missed three free throws in the final 16 seconds, lifting Phoenix past San Antonio, 96-95, Saturday in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

Marbury got the rebound after Duncan’s final miss with 5.1 seconds left and sped up the floor. He leaped from a foot outside the arc and released his shot just before the horn sounded, the ball kissing off the glass and through the net.

The win was the Suns’ fourth in five games against San Antonio this season. Two of those contests went into overtime.

The Spurs missed six of eight foul shots in overtime and finished 26-for-41.

Marbury led Phoenix with 26 points, 17 of them coming in the second half. Shawn Marion and Stoudemire added 24 apiece.

Stoudemire hit a three-pointer off the glass with 8.4 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the score at 87-87. It was only his third three-pointer of the season.

Stephen Jackson paced the Spurs with 23 points, while David Robinson had 18 points on 8-for-8 shooting and Duncan scored 17 to go with 13 rebounds. Tony Parker shot just 2-for-13 for seven points.
