Suns Hit 20 Threes
broadband.nba.com/cc/playa.php
The Suns tied a franchise record with 20 made 3-pointers thanks in large part to Marcus Banks who shot 7-of-8 from three.

這有多可怕?!
這是太陽隊史上單場最多三分球進球數
而且差一球就平了全NBA聯盟記錄了
每進一顆球  歡呼聲就一陣接一陣的傳來  球場就越來越吵 
我也要去現場US Airway Centre啦
天阿  太誇張了太誇張了
不過還真是享受阿



這陣子
太陽和小牛一樣打的有一點軟弱走樣
雖然前幾天黃蜂是真的很棒 Chris Paul是真的穩的讓我為他起立拍手
但是  太陽到底怎麼了?
其實不少的責任要怪Boris吧!!!
what's wrong with him?
I don't know either.
I just hope he would figure it out soon or the Suns might trade him in the future.
不過阿
今天  太陽的球終於又好看了起來!!!
而且是很好看喔
加上馬刺今天輸球
Phoenix Suns又回到西區最佳戰績寶座啦

太酷了!!!
真是享受享受  人生一大享受阿
也太high了吧
誰叫我終於把最難纏的文學課通通考完了

Suns Tie Team Mark with 20 Treys

Phoenix 137, Denver 115

PHOENIX, Jan. 7 (AP) -- So much for the Phoenix Suns' chemistry woes.

General manager Steve Kerr had a little talk with the team before Monday's shootaround. What followed was a 3-point barrage that an old sharpshooter like Kerr surely appreciated.

Shawn Marion scored a season-high 27 points, had six blocked shots, and hit five of Phoenix's 20 3-pointers to lead the Suns to a 137-115 romp over the Denver Nuggets in a division leaders' matchup that quickly became a mismatch.

"A good day at the office, I guess you could say,'' Marion said.

Marcus Banks, who has played his way back into the Suns' rotation, made a career-high seven 3s -- in eight attempts -- en route to a season-best 23 points. The 20 3-pointers matched a franchise record and were one shy of the NBA record set by Toronto on March 13, 2005.

Steve Nash said Kerr told the players "he just believes in us and wants us to believe in one another and give ourselves our best possible chance.''

Nash said that he hopes the talk had an influence on the game.

"But you can't expect Steve to make a Knute Rockne everyday,'' Nash said. "Hopefully, we're capable of being professional.''

Kerr downplayed the talk, saying it was something that happens on teams a few times in a season.

After four games in five nights, the Nuggets were in no shape to match the highly-motivated Suns.

"They got happy and they got cocky and they rubbed our faces in the game a little bit,'' Denver coach George Karl said. "It will be fun the next time we play them.''

Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said too much has been made of the team's perceived chemistry problems, and he blamed himself for "over-exaggerating.''

"It's a matter of everybody just going after it,'' he said. "Let's get after it. Let's go win rather than 'Woe is me, I hope we don't lose.'''

The Suns jumped out to a 17-6 lead, were up by 23 in the second quarter and 25 in the third in their best offensive showings of the season after a disappointing 118-113 home loss to New Orleans on Saturday.

Marion made 11-of-15 shots and grabbed 14 rebounds before leaving with 4:23 to play. The five 3-pointers, all of which came in the first half, matched a career-high. He equaled his career high with the six blocks. It was the fifth time Marion has had five 3s or six blocks.

Banks, who has fallen out of favor with D'Antoni on numerous occasions, has earned his way into the rotation with his play in the last three games.

"What he needs to do, and he's doing it, is learn how not to foul in crucial times, how not to turn it over, how not to jack one up and be a real team guy,'' D'Antoni said, "and he's trying.''

Banks said he hoped for more playing time.

"All I can do is sit over there and wait until my name's called,'' he said. "When it comes, I'm going to go 110 percent and give them my all and just take care of business out there.''

Grant Hill added 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting. Amare Stoudemire had 20 points and 10 rebounds as six Suns reached double figures.

Allen Iverson scored 32 for the Nuggets, 17 in the first quarter when his team fell behind 46-34. Carmelo Anthony added 20 points in Denver's second loss in eight games.

Down by 25 early in the third quarter, the Nuggets used an 11-2 run to cut it to 101-90 on Marcus Camby's three-point play with 25.6 seconds left in the third. But Stoudemire sank a 16-footer, Iverson missed two free throws and Leandro Barbosa made a 3-pointer at the buzzer to boost Phoenix's lead to 106-90 entering the fourth.

Denver, coming off a home victory over Philadelphia on Sunday, closed to 112-99 on Nene's fastbreak layup with 6:48 remaining, but Banks ended any comeback hopes with a pair of 3s.

The first half ended after Brian Skinner drew an offensive foul on Kenyon Martin, then made -- what else? -- a 3-pointer at the buzzer to make it 78-59. It was Skinner's second career trey. His first, from about 40 feet, came earlier this year at the halftime buzzer against Sacramento.

Phoenix made 11-of-15 3s in their second-highest-scoring half of the season. The Suns shot 60 percent in the first half and were led by Marion with 21 points.

Phoenix made nine of its first 10 shots en route to a 46-point first quarter.

Notes: Phoenix raced to its big first-half lead despite foul trouble. Boris Diaw had four and Marion, Stoudemire and Hill three apiece. ... Stoudemire missed practice on Tuesday, saying he needed to stay home with his ill son. ... Iverson entered the contest scoring 21.8 points per game against the Suns, his lowest average against any NBA team.

Suns respond, destroy Nuggets

Suns fans could have felt bad about Phoenix's 1-6 record against the Western Conference's top eight seeds. But now they can feel better that their team is 4-0 against division leaders.

Suns fans could worry about the rumbling Amaré Stoudemire's absence at Sunday's practice created. But now they can feel better that the Suns were talking about having fun again.

Suns fans can wonder about how long Monday's utopia will last. But, for a night, they had to enjoy beating Denver with 46 first-quarter points, 20 3-pointers and a season-high tally in Monday's 137-115 win.

The 3-point total tied a franchise record, Shawn Marion's do-it-all night included five 3-pointers and Suns fans continued to get reacquainted with Marcus Banks, who made a career-best seven 3-pointers to score 23, the most he has posted in a game with the Suns.

"We needed this win," Marion said after his 27-point, 14-rebound, six-block game that came after his second lowest scoring game of the season.

The only ones displeased with Phoenix's deluge was Denver, irked by Phoenix piling on two more 3-pointers in the game's final 40 seconds.

"They got happy and cocky and they rubbed our faces in the game a little bit," said Denver coach George Karl, whose team played its fourth game in five nights. "It'll be fun the next time we play them."

Nuggets guard Allen Iverson was animated before he even left the floor.

"If we get the opportunity, we won't try to show them up," Iverson said.

The Suns might have throttled any team with the way the offense clicked early. The Suns posted 32 points in the game's first 7:18, scoring on each of their first 15 possessions except for a Grant Hill miss on fast-break dunk attempt.

All of Phoenix's big men were mired in foul trouble but never let Denver cut the lead to single digits for the remainder of the game. Nobody could complain about Marion's three fouls when he was doing everything else, joking that he even passed his hot hand to Banks in a handshake.

"It's definitely contagious," Banks said of his recent good outings. "I hope to build from this game, not so much scoring-wise but in other areas on the floor."

It was just the Suns night, from center Brian Skinner making his second career 3-pointer and two free throws on the same trip, to clearing the bench. Phoenix had one second-half scare when Denver trimmed the lead to 11 (101-90) late in the third quarter but the Suns again could do no wrong.

Stoudemire did not take the quarter's last shot but made a jumper with seven seconds to go. Banks fouled Iverson, who missed both free throws to set up Barbosa's buzzer-beating 3-pointer.

Report

Cheers

Marcus Banks scored 23 points, his highest total with the Suns, and made seven 3-pointers, the best of his career, and had some big defensive moments.

Jeers

Boris Diaw was 2 of 8, grabbed one rebound and was foul-plagued, but did have six assists. Then again, assists were plentiful aplenty on this night.

Player of the game

Shawn Marion scored 27, made five 3-pointers, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked six shots.

View from press row

For a third consecutive game, Marcus Banks validated the fans who always call for him to play more. Banks exited in the second quarter to a partial standing ovation Monday. It wasn't just the two 3-pointers he made. It was the hustle and havoc he brought on defense.
