Third quarter breakdown

Losing control Loss 96-102 Series 0-2 Spurs lead

The Suns started the game strong and led by 7 going into half time. Then when the third quarter started, they seemed to have left their game in the locker room only being able to score a very weak 11 points for the whole quarter compared to the Spurs scoring 27. The Suns continuously let Parker and Ginobili in the paint seemingly with no answer for containing them. Steve Nash had a big game as usual with 23 points and 10 assists, with Amare Stoudemire scoring 33 to lead the Suns. Shaq also put up 19 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks. The biggest surprise was Leandro barbosa who had 0 points. Grant Hill also today was not much of a factor only scoring 0 points. The Suns stopping the Spurs paint production is going to be the key to winning the next game.
