thirty-six and eight

The Suns (36- 8) now meet a very select few of other teams on the list of teams with 17+ game winning streaks. The Suns tie 3 other teams for the 7th longest winning streak in the NBA's 60+ years of existence. The Cavaliers kept in the game throughout the first three quarters, but almost no one can run with the Suns for all 48 minutes. The Suns ended up winning by 15, 115 - 100. Not quite as close as it had been; the Suns started pulling away from the beginning of the fourth quarter and kept pulling away. I believe their largest lead was the lead that they ended with. 5 Suns had double figure scoring: Nash with a double-double (23 points, 15 assists), Matrix (23), Stat (22), Blur (19), and Raja (15). The Suns now go on to 18 wins when they play the Timberwolves (21 - 22) in Minnesota tomorrow night at 6pm. GO SUNS!
