forty-four and thirteen

The Suns (44 - 13) and Pacers (29 - 27) were dead even after the first. The Suns were down by 1 going into the half after a high scoring second. They were down by 6 after the third, but they turned it on in the fourth, outscoring the Pacers 30 - 13 in the final quarter. You can run with the Suns, but you won't keep up. The Suns won 103 - 92. Stat ripped down 18 boards and scored 23 points for another double double. Nash had his own double double with 25 points and 11 dishes. Kurt Thomas was back up to 16 minutes of play this game, he only scored 4 points, but he pulled down 8 boards, and he always is doing things to help the team that don't show up on the stat sheets. This was a pretty low scoring game for the Suns, but it goes to show that the Suns are playing better defense than they used to. Even though the Suns have been playing great basketball since Nash has been back, we can't make up any games since Dallas has put together another 13 game winning streak thus far. Dallas is an incredible team this season once again. The Suns take on the 76ers (19 - 38) tonight in Phili at 5pm AZ time to make it a perfect 4 of 4 road trip. GO SUNS!
