Marreese Speights scored 32 points on 12-for-18 shooting and Lou Williams added 27, but the Sixers fell short in a 115-113 preseason loss at Phoenix.

The Sixers mounted a furious fourth-quarter comback, outscoring the Suns, 41-28.

First-round pick Jrue Holiday played 30 minutes, scoring 14 points on 5-for-9 shooting.

The Sixers trailed by as much as 19 and by 15 heading into the fourth, but pushed back to a one-possession game in the final seconds. Despite the loss, Speights stole the show with 32 points, 12 boards and two blocks.

Channing Frye had 17 points for the Suns, leading six players in double figures.
