The Phoenix Suns once again squeaked out a very close game down the wire.  Lately, the Suns have been getting off to monster leads but as the games roll on they start to falter.  In this game they were up 19 points and many other times had double digit leads, but the Atlanta Hawks stormed back only to come up just a little short in the last few minutes of play.  The Suns took the win with a final score of 107-102.

The high scorer for the Suns was Shaq with 26 points.  Steve Nash had 23 points and Amare Stoudemire had 17 points.  Off the bench Leandro Barbosa came up huge with 22 points in only 23 minutes of play time.  Matt Barnes also helped out the the team with two key 3 pointers in the fourth quarter.  The Suns record now is 22 and 13.
