thirty-one and eight

Doesn't feel like I've had to write about a loss lately...and I haven't. The Suns (31 - 8) are now on a 12 game winning streak, but the Mavericks (33 - 8) keep winning, too, so we're still a game behind them for the best record in the NBA. The Suns took on the Portland Trailblazers tonight in Phoenix, and the Blazers had a fourth quarter push to come back to within five at the end, but the Suns led the whole game, except for the first quarter. The final was 106 - 101, Suns. The Suns now move on to play the Timberwolves at home, as well. The Timerwolves (20 - 18), tonight, almost beat the Detroit Pistons (22 - 16, NBA Champs a few years running a couple years ago) in double overtime, but they couldn't pull it off. We'll see what they have for us on Sunday at 6pm. GO SUNS!
