twenty-five and eight

Six in a row, and now only one and a half games behind Dallas for the top seed in the NBA. The Suns (25 - 8) beat the Warriors (18 - 18) at home tonight, and quite soundly, 128 - 105. The highlight of the night was that James Jones scored a remarkable 25 points, shooting 5 of 8 from three-point land, and he was only one point behind the game leader, Barbosa. It was great to see that going back to the old leather ball allowed him to get his shot back. He had been just terrible for the last part of 2006, but he's back. Marion stood out as another great player tonight, with 24 points (third highest scoring of the night) and 17 rebounds. The next game is home this Tuesday, 7 pm, against the Seattle SuperSonics (13 - 23). They're on a four game losing streak. Should be an easy win. GO SUNS!
