The Suns played great on offense, but they allowed the Wizards to hit 53.5% of their shots from the floor and that did them in last night.  Steve Nash had an outstanding game to lead the way for the Suns with 42 points, 3 rebounds and 12 assists.  Shawn Marion had a great game too with 28 points and 13 rebounds.  Boris Diaw played a solid all-around game with 17 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists.  Leandro Barbosa also had a good all-around game with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.  Amare Stoudamire provided some muscle for the Suns with 16 points and 11 rebounds.   Kurt Thomas added 10 points and 5 rebounds off the bench.

The Suns fell to 18-7 on the season with this loss.
