The Phoenix Suns (17-8) shot the ball great last night in their win over the San Antonio Spurs (12-10).  They hit 52% from the field and were on fire from three, hitting 61% from behind the arc.  Goran Dragic had the hot hand for Phoenix, coming off the bench and hitting 4-5 threes to help get him a season-high 18 points in 25 minutes.  Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash did their thing for the Suns.  Stoudemire had 28 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 steals while Nash dropped 25 points, 13 assists, and 3 rebounds.  The Suns were on their way to a huge win, and were up as many as 20 points in the third quarter.  They could not contain Spurs’ star forward Tim Duncan though, and he helped get the Spurs back in the game with 34 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 blocks.  The Suns did a good job defending most of the other Spurs’ players though, as only three other players besides Duncan scored in double figures.

The Suns are really happy with the play of second year point guard Goran Dragic which has allowed them to give Steve Nash more rest to keep him fresh. Dragic has played in 24 games (0 starts) for the Suns this season and he is averaging 15.9 minutes, 6.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. If Dragic keeps playing well he might be the eventual replacement for Steve Nash but that might be a few years down the road.

The Suns shot 54.5% from the floor last night but it wasn’t enough to win the game. Steve Nash led the way for the Suns last night with 28 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists. Grant Hill pitched in with 13 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Amare Stoudemire also helped out with 13 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals. The Suns are now 16-8 on the year.

The Suns were outrebounded 51-42 by the Magic last night but it didn’t matter in the end. Amare Stoudemire led the way for the Suns last night with 28 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. Steve Nash did a great job of running the offense yesterday with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 18 assists. Jared Dudley pitched in with 19 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals in 33 minutes off the bench. The Suns are now 16-7 on the season.

The Suns left everything they had on the court last night but they just came up a tad short. Steve Nash led the way for the Suns last night with 27 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists. Jason Richardson pitched in with 25 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals last night. Amare Stoudemire also had a solid game with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists last night.
