Suns Finish off Warriors

Last night in California the Suns became the victors of an old fashioned gunfight and Steve Nash, mild mannered that he is, brought a pen. Steve was planning on inking a W from the beginning and eventually finished off the Warriors with a huge three pointer with four seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to which the Warriors could not answer. The Suns hit big shot after big shot in the fourth when the Warriors tightened up into a defensive zone and packed the paint at any hint of a drive. We were forced to make open threes time after time and they were dropping.

This win might be the most important one of this young season in terms of building chemistry because each player was scrapping and scraping for this win. We even rallied to come back from down 17 points when every basket and call was going Golden State's way. Their run was punctuated by a Monta Ellis thunderous dunk that sent reverberations throughout the arena. We were shook. But Steve was not having another loss. Steve was especially vocal and demonstrative with his teammates, even snapping at them at times when they were not in the right spot. It paid off because everyone played their hearts out.



In the fourth quarter run it was Raja Bell and Leandro Barbosa who were hitting the big shots, keeping us in the game. Even James Jones used his time wisely and made a couple key threes and making a good foul on a poor free throw shooting Biedrins, who was a beast all night long. Him and Monta Ellis are going to be studs in this lig. And then it was Nash capping off the insane effort, by both teams, with a three with only four seconds left, securing the win.



Amare continues to play well even while in this game it was difficult to get him going, not by any of his doing. He just happened into a string of bad luck from the start but eventually got it going. Boris finally showed up and did what it is that he does, he almost notched a triple double. This team showed the urgency needed to get a very quality heart felt win. I hope this raises the team's confidence and helps with chemistry.
