Steve Nash had 13 points and 12 assists in his 1,000th NBA game and his favorite receiver Amare Stoudemire had a dominant 36-point, 12-rebound performance in the Phoenix Suns’ 120-106 victory over the depleted New Orleans Hornets on Sunday night.

A couple inconsolable Suns fans pick apart last night’s lost to the Lakers, breaking down the good (Amundson and Co.), bad (Lopez’s no-show) and ugly (crunch-time no-calls). Has Lou earned more playing time, and does Channing Frye’s versatility open the door for that to happen?

Suns coach Alvin Gentry say that Lakers guard Kobe Bryant is the best closer in NBA history…

The Los Angeles Lakers had lost their last four consecutive road games, leaving many to question their heart and resolve in this season’s title defense. Conversely, the Phoenix Suns had a 14-game home winning streak going against Pacific Division opponents and were coming off of a 6-day period of inactivity in preparation for this game and looking to get even healthier against the Lakers

The Suns had a normal practice today and spent some time working on a couple of offensive sets designed to take advantage of the focus opponents have on defending the pick and roll. I won’t say anything more than that for fear of giving anyway any secrets but I do think the half court execution on this team is as good as it’s been in the Steve Nash era
