If the Suns sweep the rest of their games (maybe not very likely) they would have the best Suns' record of all time. They are right now tied for the 4th best record in Suns' history. The Suns (59 - 19) were outscored 33 - 31 by the Sonics (31 - 48) in the first quarter. The Suns outscored the Sonics by 8 in the 2nd, and went into the lockerroom at the half up by 6. The Sonics and Suns tied it up in the third, 19 - 19, so the Suns maintained their overall lead. Then the Sonics ran out of gas. The Suns won the fourth by 12, 26 - 14, and won the game by 18, 109 - 91. The Suns' key to the game was to contain Rashard Lewis , but that didn't work well, as Lewis went on to score 30 points. Chris Wilcox was a beast on the boards with 12. Marion more than made up for Wilcox with 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Stat added his own 11 rebounds and 18 points. Those were the Suns' two double doubles. James (Junior) Jones started this game so Diaw and Barbosa could come off the bench and mesh better with the team, and it worked well. Jones had 13 points, including three 3-pointers. Barbosa came off the bench and score his own 20 points, including four baskets from downtown. That man is almost unstoppable, when he keeps his speed under control. The Suns should have put the Sonics away earlier, but they did get to the point, with a few minutes left in the game, where they could empty their bench. Banks made a tray, but he was the only one who scored, 
but the bench did help win the game by one more point than the starters had it up to when the bench came in, so that's a good sign. The Suns take on the Lakers (40 - 38) again this Friday at the Purple Palace at 7:30pm AZ time, and it's being broadcast on ESPN and FSNAZ, which are stations 33 and 34 respectively. I could just flip back and forth the whole game and see the same plays replayed from different perspectives, but...I won't. Only 4 more games to go. GO SUNS!
