The final score is misleading in this game as the Suns were down 89-67 after the first three quarters. Hakim Warrick (15 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in 24 minutes) and rookie forward Markieff Morris (15 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot in only 16 minutes on the floor) led the way for the Rockets in this game. Jared Dudley (14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot) and Marcin Gortat (12 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocked shots) also pitched in with solid games for the Suns tonight. The Suns are now 1-3 on the year.

The Suns got outrebounded 57-47 last night but it didn’t matter as they held the Hornets to an amazing 28.9% shooting from the floor. Hakim Warrick (18 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot in 25 minutes), Jared Dudley (16 points and 1 rebound) and Marcin Gortat (12 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 blocked shots) led the way for the Suns in this game. Shannon Brown (11 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals in 16 minutes), Grant Hill (10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocked shots) and Channing Frye (10 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocked shots) also pitched in for the Suns. The Suns are now 1-2 on the year.

The Suns have signed 32-year old shooting guard Michael Redd to a 1-year deal. Redd played in only 10 games (0 starts) for the Bucks last year and he averaged 13.4 minutes, 4.4 points, 0.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. He has now played in 578 games (427 starts) in his NBA career so far and he is averaging 33.5 minutes, 20.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steal per game. The Suns have not played well offensively so far this year, so they hope that Michael Redd has something left in the gas tank.

The Suns were outrebounded 48-39 last night and they were down 80-54 after three quarters as they failed to show up at home and that is not acceptable. Ronnie Price led the way for the Suns in this game with 16 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot in 31 minutes on the floor. Grant Hill (14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists) and Hakim Warrick (14 points, 3 rebounds and 1 blocked shot) also pitched in for the Suns last night. The Suns are now 0-2 on the year.

The Suns only shot 39.5% from the floor as they just couldn’t get the offense going last night, and it cost them this game. Robin Lopez led the way for the Suns in this game with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist. Steve Nash pitched in with 14 points and 12 assists last night as he was trying to make things happen for the Suns’ offense. Marcin Gortat finished up with 12 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal in his first game playing with a broken thumb. The Suns are now 0-1 on the year.
