two and one

The Suns (2-1) beat the Cleveland Cavaliers (1-2) last night at home in Phoenix. It was not a pretty game, but the Suns still managed to get over 100 points for the night. The first half was terrible. The Suns were down at the half, and only had 21 and 17 points in the first and second quarters, respectively, meaning the Suns only had 38 points in the first half. "Are these my Suns?" I kept questioning myself. The second half kicked it up a ton. Some said the change came from the half-time ceremony of inducting Jerry Colangelo (original franchise owner who brought the NBA to Phoenix, general manager, and one-time coach) into the Suns Ring of Honor (names and pictures of great Suns, who have contributed greatly to our franchise, put on permanant banners around the arena). It was a wonderful ceremony where even old #7, KJ - Kevin Johnson, got to say some great things about the man, Jerry Colangelo. Back to the game. The Suns had much more Suns-like 31 and 34 point third and fourth quarters to lift them to a 103-92 victory over King James and the Cavs. What a comeback. The Suns now head out on a four game road trip in the Eastern Conference. The next game is Tuesday in Charlotte against the Bobcats (2-0). GO SUNS!
