thirty and eight

The Suns have now won 11 straight as they beat the Rockets by 9, 100 - 91. The Suns lost the first quarter, but won the rest. They were down at the half, and the Suns hadn't been shooting like the top ranked jump shot percentage record holding team. The Suns picked it up more, especially in the fourth, got up by as much as 11, and then we won. The bench did not come out to play. The 7 man rotation still worked for the Suns tonight, but Kurt Thomas was still missed as Dikembe Mutombo was pretty impressive tonight. The Suns had three players over 20 points: Stat, Nash, and Barbosa. Marion had 14 points and 14 rebounds. The team together had 24 assists and 7 blocks. The next game is Friday night at home against Portland (16 - 24). GO SUNS!
