TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) _ Rookie Daniel Santiago and Cliff Robinson both scored 18 points as the Phoenix Suns beat the Vancouver Grizzlies 105-94 Sunday night.

Vancouver (1-4) trailed 62-41 at halftime but closed to 85-79 in the opening minute of the fourth quarter as Tony Massenburg had a dunk and a short jumper and Damon Jones hit a 3-pointer.

But consecutive dunks from Santiago plus Ruben Garces' slam put Phoenix up 89-79 as the Suns won their first preseason game in three tries.

Shawn Marion finished with 16 points for Phoenix while Rodney Rogers added 14 and Paul McPherson 11.

The Grizzlies were led by Shareef Abdur-Rahim's 24 points and Othella Harrington's 16. Mike Bibby added 13 points for Vancouver in his return to the University of Arizona's McKale Center, where he was an All-America for the Wildcats.
