Kings Extend Win Streak to Four, Edge Suns 116-113

These days in Sacramento, the major talk isn’t so much about the Kings and how they are enjoying a three-game winning streak prior to their game against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night at Power Balance Pavilion. The conversation has been more along the lines of the inevitable move from California’s state capitol to presumably [...]

Suns Drop Fourth Straight, Hornets Win 100-95

Interestingly, New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul, upon a return from an injury, always seems to do better than prior to suffering said injuries. Case in point is the last three games prior to the Hornets’ game Wednesday night against the Phoenix Suns at New Orleans Arena; since returning from a mild concussion, Paul [...]

Frye Jumper At Horn Boosts Suns Over Pacers 110-108 In OT

The Phoenix Suns and Indiana Pacers are in very similar situations in terms of their playoff seedings; the Suns are in 10th in the Western Conference playoff chase while the Pacers are tied for 8th with the Charlotte Bobcats in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt. As you can surmise from that, both teams are scratching [...]

Suns Inch Closer To .500, Outlast Warriors 104-92

During the matchup between the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors on Monday night, a pair of Suns celebrated their birthdays: Steve Nash and Mickael Pietrus. How they celebrated their birthdays prior to and after the game are speculation as we’ll never know what transpired, but based on their performances on the hardwood, they obviously [...]

Cold-Shooting Bucks Scorched By Suns 92-77

During Wednesday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns at US Airways Center, the Bucks once again showed their true colors. They managed to shoot a frigid 31 percent while the Suns [...]

Suns Survive Late Hornets Rally, Win 104-102

One of the more competititve games on the NBA schedule took place Sunday at US Airways Center in Phoenix as the Suns hosted the New Orleans Hornets, who are fresh off a loss to the Sacramento Kings Saturday. This matchup paired two teams that are polar opposites of each other; the Hornets don’t score tons of points yet [...]

76ers Bench Mans Up, Cool Off Suns 105-95

This is just my point of view, but I am sensing that the Philadelphia 76ers are finally coming full circle as a team. Prior to their game against the Phoenix Suns, they went 6-5; while that does not seem like much, consider that after starting the season 3-13, they went 15-12 – again prior to [...]

Suns Run Past Knicks 129-121 Despite Stoudemire’s 41

The second homecoming, of sorts, for Amare Stoudemire took place at Madison Square Garden on Monday night as the Phoenix Suns came to New York City to take on the New York Knicks. This game would promise to be a high-octane contest where defense would be an afterthought. While Stoudemire didn’t disappoint (he scored a season-high 41 points), it [...]
