The Phoenix Suns (61 - 19) came out like they owned the place. The only team in the NBA that they had not beaten was this Utah Jazz (49 - 31) team. Each of their 3 previous encounters, the Suns had let a 16, 8, or 15 point lead slip away as the Jazz came back to win each of those games. Not this time. The Suns got the lead, kept the lead, and made it look easy. Stat and Nash both earned double doubles. Stat had 14 points and 11 rebounds to Nash's 13 points and 18 assists. Barbosa ended up scoring 28 points, the game high, which was also the amount of points that the Suns demolished the Jazz by. The Suns scored 30+ points in each quarter, except for the third, where they ONLY scored 28. 
The Final score was 126 - 98, an incredible show of strength by the number two seed clinched Suns (since the Spurs lost to the Mavs today, the Spurs are now three games behind the Suns and cannot catch them). D'Antoni was so satisfied with the lead that he cleared the bench in the last 3-5 minutes of the game. It was a fun game to watch, and it made me proud to see that the Suns can defeat every team in the NBA, and with flare. Gotta have the flare. The Suns' next opponent is in Houston taking on the red hot Rockets (51 - 29) who've won the last four games and 7 of their last ten. We've won 5 straight and 8 of our last ten, so we are better...heh heh. The game starts at 5:30pm AZ time tomorrow. There is only one more game left in the regular season after that, and we take on the struggling LA Clippers who are just about out of the running to make the playoffs again this year. GO SUNS!
