Suns got back on track today and they won without great help from Amare who was in foul trouble all night. D'Antoni made his usual change in the starting lineup that he does whenever the Suns stumble - Barbosa in and Diaw out. Both had decent games. Diaw had 11 points and 9 assists. Thats what the Suns need from him. The Suns shot well from the 3 taking 38 shots from beyond and connecting on 16. Thats too much threes for other teams, but just about right for the Suns. Raja Bell hit a lot of 3's in the second half to help the Suns pull away. He had 22 and Nash had 18-5-11 and the Suns neutralized KG' 30-16 on this night.
Denver won at New Jersey behind Melo's 30. Good road win for the Nuggets. Golden State played a good one at Utah, but came up just short. This would have been a big win for the W's with a tough stretch of their schedule coming up, but it was one of those "so near, yet so far" situation for the Warriors. Al Harrington had 27, J-Rich had 21 and Boom-Dizzle 20. But the problem for the W's as always was defense and size as Boozer had 25-21 and Deron Williams had 17 assists. One guarantee about any Warrior game. Win or lose, the W's will let one of their opponent have a record night - career high or franchise high or a season high or something. Thats a running joke on their post-game shows.
In other games, the Clip-joint won at Chicago to tie with the Warriors for the 8-th spot. Bad losses for the Cavs against the Bobcats and the Wizards against the Blazers. LeBron had 37, but shot only 12/31 in the loss.
Minnesota @ Phoenix - 90-108
Denver @ New Jersey - 94-90
Golden State @ Utah - 100-104
Interesting games on the board for Mar 21-st (Wednesday)
Dallas @ Cleveland - Clearly the headliner for the night. Should be a fun one.
Minnesota @ Sacramento - All the pretenders fighting for the 8-th spot
