PHOENIX >> Dwyane Wade scored 27 points and the Miami Heat beat the Phoenix Suns for the 11th straight time with a 103-95 victory Friday night.

Former Suns guard Goran Dragic added 22 points and Gerald Green, also a former Sun, had 21. They were returning to Phoenix for the first time as opposing players.

A 3-pointer from Green with 4:35 to play gave Miami the lead for good, and Chris Bosh’s 3 with 1:57 left put the game out of reach at 98-91.

Green’s night included a third-quarter dunk, after which he ran past Suns majority owner Robert Sarver, who applauded him, and a 3-pointer after which he cast a glare at the Suns’ bench.

Brandon Knight scored 26 points in the Suns’ 10th loss in 11 games.

Back-to-back layups by backup point guard Archie Goodwin gave the Suns an 83-30 lead with 8:01 to play, but the Suns couldn’t hold it.

Rookie Devin Booker ignited the Suns’ rally from a 13-point halftime deficit. He scored 11 straight points to give the Suns a 65-59 lead, the final two on a driving layup that brought the crowd to its feet. But the Heat responded with the next 11 points to reclaim the lead.

Miami led 77-73 after three quarters.

The Heat broke open a close game midway through the second quarter, starting when former Sun Amare Stoudemire rejected a dunk attempt by seldom-used Markieff Morris. That led to a lob from Wade to Green for a 35-31 Heat lead.

Miami made 17 of 18 free throws in the first half compared to only 3 of 6 for the Suns, and the Heat made 15 more free throws for the game.

A 10-0 run gave the Heat a 39-31 lead, as Bosh banked in a short jumper off a bounce pass from Wade for a 51-40 lead with 12.4 seconds to go until halftime. The Heat led 53-40 at the half on two free throws by Green.

Suns forward PJ Tucker started and played with a right quad contusion he sustained in the team’s previous game. He rode a stationary bike to stay loose when not playing and finished with 11 rebounds.

TIP-INS

HEAT: Dragic got a cheer from the crowd when introduced in the starting lineup. Green’s wasn’t as loud when he entered as a sub in the first quarter. Stoudemire, who in eight seasons with Phoenix (2002-2010) averaged 21.4 points and 8.9 rebounds, got the loudest cheer from the fans when he checked into the game in the first quarter. . Rap duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis attended the game.

SUNS: Two days after making his first start of the season, Suns G Ronnie Price sat out with a sprained toe on his right foot. Booker started in his place. . The Suns signed G Lorenzo Brown to a 10-day contract earlier Friday. Brown spent time with Minnesota last season and Philadelphia in 2013-14. He’d been playing with Grand Rapids in the D-League. . C Tyson Chandler missed going onto the court when his name was announced in the starting lineup. He jogged to the bench just after the last Sun was announced.

HEAT HAD INTEREST IN BOOKER

The Heat showed interest in Booker leading up to the most recent NBA draft, with coach Erik Spoelstra praising the rookie’s ability to move without the ball and catch and shoot. “He has an IQ and a feel for the game off the ball,” Spoelstra said. “In today’s AAU you typically don’t see that.”
