fifty-four and eighteen

The Suns had over a 30 point swing in the game, first being down to the Nuggets by way too many in the first half, but then coming back to win big: 125 - 108. The Suns needed to prove themselves, that is, after losing in their last meeting to the Nuggets in a game that the Suns had been down by 40 points at one time, as well as having lost to Golden State the previous evening. Both Denver and Golden State are playing the same kind of fast tempo, in your face basketball that you've come to expect from the Suns, and they've beaten the Suns at their own game. But not last night. The Suns lost the first quarter, 36 - 24, but went on to win each of the following quarters, scoring over 30 points in each of them to win by 17. It was a good win, and a needed boost as we move on to play Dallas (61 - 11, of whom we are now 7 games behind) tomorrow (Sunday) on ABC at 12:30pm AZ time. This is going to be the best game left in the regular season, but we also visit San Antonio (52 - 20) on Thursday, and they're only two games behind us, vying for our 2nd place spot. A few hard games left for the Suns, but it will show off what kind of a playoff team we have this year. GO SUNS!
