Jazz And Suns Nail Biter On Saturday Night
Hosting the Utah Jazz, the Phoenix Suns were in for a battle. There were 24 lead changes and 23 ties which made this one of the best games I have seen this season. The Suns were able to eek out a win with a final score of 106-104. The action was intense throughout the game in front of over 18 thousand attendees.
Amare Stoudemire was an absolute beast scoring 22 points with 20 rebounds. His intensity led his team to victory this game by far. Leandro Barbosa was high man with 24 points with 10 for 10 free throw shooting, which was key in the win. Shaq got into a little foul trouble late in the game, but he still contributed with 15 points and 10 boards. Phoenix improves its record to 12 wins and 9 losses, and hopefully more of this play will continue heading into the holidays.
