twenty-eight and eight

The Suns played a pretty good game tonight. They couldn't keep a very dominating lead, but they lead from half way through the first quarter to the end. The Suns win their 28th game tonight against the Orlando Magic, whom we now dropped to the third ranked team in the East because of their loss tonight. The Suns are now 14 - 0 when they win the first quarter. Weird statistic, but one that I like. The Suns are still only one game behind the Dallas Mavericks for the best record in the NBA. Dwight Howard is a dominating player, and we really didn't have an answer for him, but we had 6 players in double figures, including all five starters and Barbosa, who (prediction) will win the 6th Man Award, mark my words. Boris Diaw just missed his second triple-double of the season, with 19 points, 11 assists, and 9 rebounds. Steven Nash had 23 points, leading all Suns, and was second highest scorer of the night, behind Orlando's Jameer Nelson (26). This would be a pretty good match up for the NBA finals this year. The Suns are in Memphis to take on the Grizzlies (9-29) on Monday, MLK Day. The Grizzlies just lost to the Chicago Bulls tonight by 45 points, 111 - 66. Should be an easy win. GO SUNS!
