Suns lose tough playoff game on the road

When was the last time Tim Duncan hit a three pointer? loss 115-117 Series 0-1 Spurs lead

To answer the question, it was 2 years ago he last hit a three point shot. The one Duncan made today hurt the most, as the Suns were poised to lock it up after the 1st OT. Then Duncan hit the 3 to send it to the second overtime. The game was still in the hands of Phoenix to win, but then it came crashing down when Ginobili hit the game winning layup. Steve Nash had a great game with 25 points and 13 assists, while the other starters did well also. Amare was the only other stand out with 33 points, along with Barbosa and Diaw pitching in a dozen a piece. Despite Phoenix's loss today, the fact that the Spurs barely got by todays game by a hair, this should make Phoenix fans still feel pretty good about the teams performance today and going into the next playoff game. Next game is Tuesday at 6:30pm pst, 9:30pm est.
