suns 2 - spurs 3

The Suns lost this at-home battle. The Suns were up by 11 numerous times, but they let the Spurs back into the game with just a couple minutes left to play. The Suns ended up losing by 3 points after a 3-pointer by Bruce Bowen in the corner with less than a minute to go, and the Suns couldn't come back from it. The Suns could have won this game, should have won this game, but they let it go. There were two terrible suspensions that impacted this game: Stat and Diaw both were suspended for getting up off the bench after Horry body-checked Nash into the scorer's table with only a few seconds left in the game. Horry got a flagrant 2 called on him, 2 free throws and possession for the Suns, and a two game suspension, but the Suns lost two key players in a key game. Suns lost 88 - 85. The Suns allowed the Spurs to score 32 points in the fourth quarter for the come-from-behind win. Marion, Nash, and Thomas all had double doubles, but it wasn't enough in the last minute. The Spurs had been down to the Suns about 45 of the 48 minutes. What a waste. The refs didn't help, either.
