Suns lose close one at buzzer

Suns lose with buzzer beater 113-110 Record 19-13

The game started out ugly as the Suns shot horribly in the first quarter. By the time half time came around, the Suns have cut their deficit to only 4 points. Both teams continued to battle and with only 0.9 sec left, Danny Granger hit a 3 pointer to win to cap off his big night with 37 points. Shaq sat out this game due to back spasms which left the Suns a little soft in the paint. The Pacers exploited it and came up with some easy buckets. Amare Stoudemire lead the Suns with 23 points 11 rebounds 3 steals, with the rest of the starters having atleast 16 points. (with the exception of Lopez who is not a normal starter playing 5 min and scoring 2 points) This was a tough loss for the Suns being that they should have beat these guys off the jump. A win would have been nice to have going into a big game like the Suns are going to have against Dallas on Friday in Phoenix.
