thirty-five and eight

16 straight! New Suns record created last night as the Suns took on the Bucks and won again. The Suns did not play great ball, but they pulled out the win by 8 points after letting the Bucks get within 3 points in the last two minutes. Raja Bell had 27 points, Marion had 23 rebounds, and Nash hit a key 2-pointer near the end of the game to spread the lead a little with less than two minutes. Bell hit a 3 to put the Suns up by 6 and take the gusto out of the Bucks. The Suns won, 98 - 90. Marion had a double-double (11 points, 23 rebounds), as well as Nash (18 points, 16 assists). Stat was only one rebound away from a double-double himself (21 points, 9 rebounds). The Suns will go on to win number 17 as they take on the Cavaliers (25 - 18) in Cleveland on Sunday at 11am on ABC. Go national coverage. GO SUNS!
