forty-seven and fourteen

The Suns (47 - 14) played the Bobcats (22 - 40) at US Airways Center in downtown Phoenix last night. The Suns were not expecting to have to play hard, especially since the Suns had dominated their last meeting by 30 points, but the Bobcats had already lost six in a row, and they didn't want a seventh. Stat got himself ejected in the third quarter after his second technical foul (which makes a total of 14 technicals this season; 16 and there is a 1-game suspension). The rest of the team stayed in the game, but they were unable to pull away or even to stop the in-the-paint offense of the Bobcats. The game ended in regulation tied, 96 - 96. The Suns then dominated the tired Bobcats in overtime, outscoring them 17 - 8, and winning the game 115 - 106. That's about where the regulation score should have been, but the Suns ended up pulling it out anyway. The Suns play the Hornets (28 - 33) Friday night at 7pm AZ time. GO SUNS!
