Collin Gillespie has been involved in late-game scenarios for the Suns, and head coach Jordan Ott knows it's not on accident.

Collin Gillespie is off to a historic start with the Suns, joining only Russell Westbrook and LaMelo Ball to do this in NBA history.

In his third season, Gillespie has established himself as an early contender for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award.

The Suns will bring that momentum into their final home meeting against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday in a regular-season matchup. The Spurs, who were idle on Cup Friday, have won three in a row and six of eight. The Suns have won nine of 11 and are 2-0 in Cup play, tied with Oklahoma City for the best record in Western Conference Group A.

Suns' Collin Gillespie cashed in four first-half 3s against the Clippers to match his career high for any game, providing extra offense after Jalen Green exited with a hamstring injury.

The 26-year-old ranks second in total assists off the bench in the NBA (77), third in 3-pointers made (36), is tied for 10th in steals (15) and is 14th in points (158), making a real case for himself being a Sixth Man of the Year candidate if he can continue to increase his scoring a little more.
