2 close to lose

Suns lose at buzzer 105-103 Record 22-15

There were only 3 Suns players that played that were in double digits in points, Only two of those three are starters. The Suns played sloppy defense and their offense followed suit as they got beat by a team that should not have beaten them. How does a team that shoots 50 percent for the game lose to a team that shoots 43 percent? Simply the Suns were out rebounded and out hustled this game. The Suns got killed on the offensive board and just did not have it in them to want to win this game. Jason Richardson had a nice look in the corner to take the last shot for the win, but it should have never come to that. Shaq had a good game with 22 points, 11 rebounds, and even 4 assists. Leandro Barbosa ended up 22 as well off the bench and Amare Stoudemire had 19 points.
