Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Eric Bledsoe scored 23 points, including the final four for Phoenix, to help the Suns pull away from the Chicago Bulls and cap an eight-game homestand with a 99-93 win. Goran Dragic scored 21 points for the Suns, who finished the homestand 6-2. Markieff and Marcus Morris both scored 12 points, with Markieff also contributing a season-high 14 rebounds. I thought our defense played great tonight, said Phoenix coach Jeff Hornacek. They challenged just about every shot. Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler and Aaron Brooks combined for 66 of Chicagos 93 points and Pau Gasol had 19 boards in the setback. Roses struggles from the floor continued on Friday despite scoring 23 points. He shot 8-of-23 and 0-for-6 from behind the arc. Rose is shooting 28-of-82 (34 percent) from the floor and 5-for-25 from 3 over his last three games. Chicago shot 1-for-14 from outside the paint in the first half and trailed 55-42 at the break. The 13-point halftime lead grew to 15 two minutes into the third quarter before Chicago made a game of it. A pair of 6-0 runs, the second of which Kirk Hinrich capped with a short jumper, gave the Bulls a 67-66 lead before Brandan Wrights layup restored Phoenixs lead after three. The Suns shot 6-for-23 and missed all six of their tries from distance in the third. The Morris brothers accounted for the first nine Suns points of the fourth, with Marcus canning a 3 and Markieff hitting three 2-point field goals. Later, Markieffs slam on a feed from Bledsoe capped a 7-0 run that had the hosts back in front by nine. It was nine once more on Dragics layup with 2:24 to play but out of a timeout, Butler put in a layup and Brooks stepped into a 3 to force a timeout with Phoenix ahead by just four. Rose and Gasol missed layups on the next Chicago trip but Phoenix rushed a shot, leading to Brooks layup at the other end that cut it to two. Then with time winding down on the shot clock, Bledsoe drove hard into Joakim Noah and got a floater to go off the glass, pushing it back to a two- possession game with 10 seconds to play. His free throws after Butler missed a contested layup sealed the win. It is unfortunate but if we want to get where we want to go, weve got to find ways to win these types of games, Rose said.

The Reds want players to keep their beards and their locks in check. First-year manager Bryan Price wants players hair and beards to be neatly kept this season, in line with the teams policy on appearances. A few of the Reds have long hair and beards. Starter Johnny Cuetos hair still covers his name on the back of his jersey. Price is fine with it. "Our initial policy was facial hair was fine, but just keep it under control," Price said on Saturday. The Boston Red Sox made long, scraggly beards their identity last season on their way to a World Series championship. Boston players shaved them off after the season, with several players donating the hair for charity fundraisers. The Reds were known for their strict hair and appearance policies in the 1970s and 1980s. They insisted that players stay clean-shaven and show their red stirrups in uniform. When reliever Jim Kern wanted a trade during the 1982 season, he grew a beard in violationn of the teams policy and was sent to the White Sox.dddddddddddd The policy even applied to the media guide. When the Reds got infielder Wayne Krenchicki, they only photo available showed him with a moustache. The team covered up the moustache in the media guide photo. Price has no desire to go back to those days. "I dont think youre going to be terribly successful sitting there trying to turn the clock back on the clubhouse too far," Price said. He plans to meet with some of the teams leaders when the position players report for their first workout on Monday and get their thoughts about some proposed rules. All teams have policies on whats expected of players. "I dont think theres anybody in there thats looking to turn this place into Fantasy Island and go crazy in there," Price said. "I think everyone likes to understand what the rules are and where the lines are drawn. But I think its something worth discussing with the players instead of mandating them unilaterally." ' ' '
