thirty-nine and twelve

The Bulls (29 - 23) just totally outplayed the Suns (39 - 12). Again Steve Nash-less, the Suns also missed out on the assistance of Boris Diaw because of a back muscle strain. Again, Marion and Amaré both earned double doubles (respectively 11 pts, 13 reb; 26 pts, 10 reb). The Suns had two players reach 26 points each, but the Bulls had three players with 27, 29, and again 29 points. The Bulls beat the Suns in Phoenix, 116 - 103. The Suns had a surge in the third quarter to get up by 5, but with so few people in the line-up, they lost their stamina in the fourth, and lost by 13 points. The Suns have one more game before the All-Star break, against the Supersonics (19 - 32) in Seattle. GO SUNS!
