Down 18 in the 3rd, Phoenix Suns rebound to defeat Indiana Pacers by 11
The Suns looked pretty bad throughout the first three quarters of the game against the Indiana Pacers. Fortunately, the Pacers slacked off a bit and Phoenix was able to run away with the victory, 103-92.
Led by Steve Nash's 25 points and 11 assists, the Phoenix Suns rallied for their 4th straight victory. Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion supported the cause w/ 23 and 22 points, respectively. Stoudemire also pulled down 18 rebounds for the suddenly streaking Phoenix team (yes, again). If Phoenix can reach 12 in a row, they'll join the Mavs as one of only a handful of teams to have won 12 games in a row 3 times in the same season... The teams that have done it in the past have won championships, so it will be interesting to see how it turns out if both the Suns and Mavs do it.
The Suns comeback started late in the 3rd quarter, as the Suns - without Nash in the lineup - rallied to come within 6 points at the end of the 3rd. The game continued to sway in the 4th quarter w/ the Pacers struggling mightily - hitting only 5 baskets in the first 10 minutes of the 4th quarter.
The win gets the Suns one step closer to sweeping the Eastern Conference on the road this season.
