PHOENIX (AP) -- Damian Lillard scored 27 points and converted a crucial three-point play in the final minute Monday night to lead the Portland Trail Blazers over the Phoenix Suns 111-110.

Lillard drove straight into the lane and made a layup while crashing into Phoenix's Aron Baynes with 26 seconds left. Baynes was called for a blocking foul and Lillard's free throw put the Blazers up 111-110.

Phoenix couldn't score on its final possession as Ricky Rubio's 3-point attempt bounced off the rim.

CJ McCollum led the Blazers with 30 points. Kelly Oubre Jr. had 24 for the Suns.
