The Suns couldn't win their 18-th straight in-spite of 18 assists from Steve Nash. By the way, how do you get 18 assists? Anyways, I am disappointed today! It's normal in the NBA to lose games on the road, especially on back-to-back nights. But the Suns have been winning so many games, it's almost a shock to see them lose. Actually I thought they would win today and lose against the Spurs. Jazz or the Nuggets. But Garnett was too good. He shot 18-29 for 44 points and 11 boards. Some amazing numbers for KG. He dominated the entire game and the Suns went cold in the 4-th quarter like they used to in the first week of the season. The Suns actually had a great game except for Amare. Not sure what happened to him, but he took just 5 shots for 10 points. Raja Bell had 26 and Marion had 24. Nash was great with 20 and 18 assists. Still the T-Wolves stayed with them and KG just put the Suns away when they got cold in the 4-th quarter. He hit an array of his trademark turnaround, fade-away jumpers. Once again, it took a enormous individual effort to beat the Suns, but they got beat by a mediocre team on the road in-spite of scoring 112 points. Hope it doesn't start a losing streak given the tough schedule ahead. Hope the Suns come out with extra motivation and deal with the Spurs on Thursday. Not that they need any extra motivation to play the Spurs.
In other games, Denver lost again, this time to the Bobcats. They need to stop the bleeding soon. Pau Gasol had 34 on 14/17 shooting. Looks like he is getting ready for the trade. Vinsanity hit a buzzer beater to beat the Jazz by a point. The Nets have probably had one of the most eventful road-trips ever. A tonne of one-point games and impressive defeats and victories! Vince had 33 on 10-15 shooting. A very funny thing happened in this game. Matt Harping was in the low post and he threw the ball out to Deron Williams on the baseline. One problem. Deron was out-of-bounds actually walking to the bench after being just pulled out of the game! He was walking slowly with another guy who was also replaced from the game. I have no idea why Harping thought these two guys where in the game! I have never seen anything like this before.
Phoenix @ Minnesota - 112-121
Interesting games on the board for Jan 30-th (Tuesday)
Detroit @ Washington - The old V the New in the L-Eastern conference. Jamison is on fire right now.
