PHOENIX — Ex-UA standout Channing Frye has free rein to take as many three-point shots as he likes — as long as he keeps making them.

Frye took 10 three-points attempts and made six in the Phoenix Suns' 120-110 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night.

Coach Alvin Gentry said Frye "should have taken 15 — he passed up a lot of shots."

"If he's going to make six, he can take 15," Gentry added.

Connecting on six threes for the second straight game, Frye finished with 25 points.

"I don't think they'd really let me take five more," Frye said. "I don't try to force anything. I take them in the context of the game. I shoot them when I'm open."

Then, with a smile, Frye said, "OK, if they're going to let me take five more ..."

Jason Richardson had 23 points in his first game following a two-game suspension and the undefeated Phoenix Suns rolled to their third victory.

"I was definitely excited to get back on the floor," Richardson, who made 8-of-14 shots, said. "I feel I'm now a better person and a better player."

The victory was the Suns' 11th straight at home dating to last season and improved their home record to 16-3 under Gentry, who replaced Terry Porter in February.
