Total breakdown

What happened? 87-104 Record 23-16

From the start, this game was ugly, so so so ugly. The Suns acted like a college team playing against the Celtics today. 1 turnover after the next, missing shot after shot. Getting beat down by 30 by half time is just not acceptable for a Suns team that IS good. This is not a good way to show the league that they belong to be spoken about with the elite teams of the NBA. The Suns had a great game against Toronto last night, but could not find that same magic against the defending world champs. The only upside to this day is that Steve Nash is still perfect from the line making 54 in a row now. The high man for the Suns was Shaq with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

Floor General

Suns get by Raptors 117-113 Record 23-15

Steve Nash lead the way for the Suns to seal up their victory over the short handed Raptors. Steve Nash controlled the game and the tempo of the offense throughout the whole game dishing out 18 assists, which is very Steve Nash like. Amare Stoudemire put up a game high 31 points while pulling down 6 rebounds. The rest of the team fared well, most of them getting into double digits in points. The two man wrecking crew of Barbosa and Barnes coming off the bench to do some damage outscoring the Raptor bench 33-14. If Nash can keep playing like the MVP Steve Nash, teams better start getting their umbrella's out because dimes are going to be dropping out of the sky.
