The Suns didn’t need Steve Nash last night, but this game was a tight one.  Amare Stoudemire was too much for the Blazers as he rolled up 36 points and 9 rebounds.  Leandro Barbosa started at point guard in Nash’s place and he played well.  He scored 25 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, dished out 7 assists and stole the ball 4 times.

The Suns improved to 39-10 with this win.  http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270206022
