sixty and nineteen

The Suns (60 - 19) took on their division rivals, the LA Lakers (40 - 40). It was a close game the whole time until the third quarter, where the Suns went 25 - 13, and the Suns held off Kobe's charge and finished the win. Nash saw that he needed to score this game, and he did, as well as garnished his 51st double double of the season: 26 points and 14 assists. Amaré finally started producing points toward the end of the fourth quarter and had some great hussle, though, the whole night, and ended with a double double: 15 points and 16 rebounds, including 5 offensive. Marion also ended up with a double double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. They held Kobe Bryant to only 19 points, after he got 50 the night before in a close loss. The Suns won 93 - 85, so not very high scoring for our regular Suns offense, but it was definitely enough to get the W, I am very glad to say. 60 wins! The Suns take on the hot Utah Jazz (49 - 30) who just defeated the Mavericks (65 - 14) tonight by 15 points. We've got a tough game to play, and a few more difficult ones to end the season. We just need two wins to secure the #2 seed over San Antonio (58 - 21). GO SUNS!
