NEW YORK (AP) -- Grant Hill scored a season-high 28 points, nine during a fourth-quarter flurry that broke open a close game, and the Phoenix Suns pulled away to beat the New York Knicks 115-104 on Sunday night.
Amare Stoudemire added 28 points and 12 rebounds to help the Suns win for the 10th time in 12 games. Phoenix, opening a five-game road trip, also got 15 points from Shawn Marion, and nine points and 15 assists from Steve Nash.
Quickly becoming a fan favorite because of his ability in the post, Suns forward Grant Hill recently proved again that he is equally savvy in print after his appearance in the November/December issue of Post PHX magazine. The NBA veteran, who signed with the Suns during the offseason, not only discusses his transition to a new team filled with new personalities, but he and his family’s transition to the city of Phoenix as a whole.

PHOENIX — It was a rare day off from basketball, but there was no rest for Suns forward Grant Hill. On a recent Saturday morning, Hill had seen his mother off to the airport and visited the barbershop. Now he was seated at the kitchen table, thumbing through the latest issue of Vanity Fair while cradling his crying 3-month-old daughter, Lael, in his lap.
When NBA all-star Grant Hill married Tamia, a Grammy-nominated R&B singer, in 1999, the couple looked forward to years of health and happiness. Little did they know, their promise to stand together in sickness and in health would be put to the test shortly after saying "I do."
Teams Raise $65,000 for NBA Cares’ Community Partners
Burbank, CA – For the first time in its 30-year history, FAMILY FEUD is hooping it up and fast-breaking for charity with the special sweeps event premiere of NBA Players vs. NBA Mothers Week. The first of five daily episodes will begin airing in national syndication on Monday, November 12th (check local listings), just two weeks after the tip-off of the NBA's 62nd season.
We just sort of assumed since Grant Hill's mom, Janet, is a former teacher who now is vice president of a business consulting firm and sits on the boards of three companies and the Fuqua School of Business at Duke, that she probably hasn't had much time to watch television game shows like Family Feud.
Turns out we were mistaken.

He is rich beyond his wildest dreams, with the kind of business mind to keep it growing and growing.
His battered left ankle, which had screws and plates inserted before the joint was finally fused together, has been through so many surgeries that he’s needed skin grafts and vein transplants to keep the area viable.
He’s happily married to a Grammy-nominated R&B singer, has one child with another on the way, and his future could include careers ranging from broadcasting to politics.

PHOENIX
As an unrestricted free agent, Grant Hill had plenty of options. He chose the Phoenix Suns because he wants the same thing they do: an NBA title. A championship trophy has eluded the Suns since their birth in 1968 and Hill during an injury-plagued 13-year career.
"I'm sure everybody knows I've been through a lot," said Hill, who was introduced at a US Airways Center news conference Wednesday. "But I feel like this is a reward, the opportunity to play here and try to win a world championship.
