PHOENIX - The saga of Devin Harris continued as the Nets proved it is best to be lucky and good.

After directing the Nets to improbable wins in Sacramento and Utah, Harris made it three straight last night, scoring a career high and helping the Nets end a 14-game losing streak here.

With Harris pouring in 47 points, the Nets rallied over the horribly mistake-riddled Suns for an 117-109 victory that ended their Thanksgiving week trip at 3-1 for a second straight year.

Harris produced 21 of his points in the fourth quarter, when the Suns committed seven of their 15 turnovers and lost Amare Stoudemire (25 points, 12 rebounds) to technical fouls.

The Suns went the last 3:24 without their star, who has been complaining about his role lately.

Vince Carter (28 points) tied matters at 102 with a 3-pointer during a 12-2 Nets run. Harris, one night after demolishing Deron Williams in Utah, hit a left elbow jumper at 2:11. The Nets never trailed again.

Brook Lopez (17 points) had a follow-up dunk, then Harris, after a Suns turnover, suckered Matt Barnes into the air before calmly hitting two free throws at 1:05 for a 108-102 lead.

Harris, 17-of-17 from the line, now has six games of 30 or more - all this season. The Nets scored 43 fourth-quarter points.

The Suns, specifically Stoudemire, handed the Nets an enormous gift. With 3:24 left and Phoenix up two, Stoudemire was called for traveling. He griped. Ref Bill Kennedy thought he doth protest too much and hit Stoudemire with a technical.

It was the Sun star's second T - at 8:36 he jawed with Trenton Hassell and earned the first. Harris made the free throw and it was a one-point game.

Harris kept the Nets in striking distance by scoring their first 10 points of the fourth quarter. And when he hit his second 3-pointer of the game - and only ninth of the season - he had outscored the Suns, 10-3 (Phoenix had a three-point play by Nash). That had the Nets within 88-84. Later, Yi Jianlian bagged a 3-pointer, Carter assisting, and the Nets were a basket away, 92-90, at 6:20.

"He's played at a high level every night," said coach Lawrence Frank of Harris. "That's what we need your best players have to play at a high level."

The NBA's highest-scoring backcourt, Carter and Harris, made sure the Nets would not go away. By the end of the third quarter, they had combined for 46 points, 17 more than Nash and Bell for the Suns.

But the front line was a different story. At the end of the third quarter, when Phoenix led 85-74, the Suns' starting front line outscored the Nets' frontcourt 42-18, outrebounded it 22-9.

The Nets were again quickly challenged in personnel. Keyon Dooling (head cold) sat. And then the center position began collecting fouls at an alarming rate. Lopez and Sean Williams had two each and Stromile Swift had three 18 seconds into the second quarter.

Josh Boone is due to get his MRI on left ankle today . . . Lopez got to catch up with twin brother Robin. "I saw him at his place yesterday. His place is much more spacious than mine, of course, and a lot cheaper. So that makes me kind of angry." . . . In the first on-court exchange, Brook shot, missed, rebounded and scored against his brother.
