The Suns were outrebounded 47-39 last night and it really hurt them in this game. Steve Nash (16 points and 15 assists) and Marcin Gortat (14 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocked shots) led the way for the Suns in this game. Markieff Morris (13 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot in 23 minutes) and Channing Frye (12 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals) also had solid games for the Suns last night. Michael Redd (12 points, 1 assist and 1 steal in 19 minutes) and Shannon Brown (11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal) also pitched in for the Suns off the bench in this game. The Suns are now 4-6 on the year.

22-year old forward Markieff Morris is off to a good start as a rookie for the Suns so far this year. He has played in 9 games (0 starts) for the Suns so far this year and he is averaging 21.6 minutes, 8.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Morris is also shooting 12 of 22 (54.5%) from three point range so far this year, which is very, very impressive for a player his size. Morris will likely see his P.T. spike if he continues to play like he is right now.

The Suns were outrebounded 49-35 and they were outscored 26-15 in the 4th quarter, which explains the scoreboard last night in L.A. Channing Frye (17 points and 3 rebounds) and Marcin Gortat (16 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists) led the way for the Suns last night. Steve Nash (13 points, 1 rebound and 8 assists) and Shannon Brown (11 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in 19 minutes on the floor) also pitched in for the Suns in this game. The Suns are now 4-5 on the year.

38-year old point guard Steve Nash is still playing at a high level despite his advanced age. Nash played in 8 games (all starts) for the Suns this year and he is averaging 28.8 minutes, 12.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 9.8 assists on 50% shooting from the floor. Nash is still moving up the NBA’s all-time lists. He is now #6 in assists (9,330) in league history and he is also #10 in three point shots made (1,575). Nash has also passed up Mark Price for the all-time free throw % as he has hit 90.4% of them in his career so far. The Suns are probably going to have Nash start looking for his shot more in the near future.

The Suns shot 55.8% from the floor and they rushed out to a 91-66 after the first three quarters in this very, very easy win. Marcin Gortat (18 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocked shots on 9 of 10 shooting from the floor) and Channing Frye (16 points and 6 rebounds) led the way for the Suns in this game.
