NBA
Regular Season Round 51: Phoenix Suns - Minnesota T. 128-122
Date: December 15, 2010
Steve Nash was threading passes through tiny spaces, Jason Richardson was scoring from everywhere, Channing Frye was stroking 3-pointers as if they were layups. Filled with energy from the opening tip, the Suns went back to their up-tempo game, smiling and high-fiving their way out of a losing streak. Frye hit seven of Phoenix's 15 3-pointers, Nash had 19 assists and the Suns outlasted the Minnesota Timberwolves 128-122 Wednesday night to end a three-game skid. "That's the type of team we are," said Richardson, who scored 24 of his 29 points in the first half to break out of a shooting slump. "If we're not playing with energy, high-fiving, smiling, helping each other out, we're not good. When we have that energy, we're at our best. We have to find a way to have that energy every night." Phoenix had lost its previous three games by digging big holes. The Suns shot their way out of the losing streak, putting seven players in double figures, shooting 50 percent from the field and making seven of 11 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to pull away. Frye and Grant Hill had 21 points each, Nash hit six free throws late to finish with 11 points and Phoenix shot 15 of 27 from 3-point range overall. The undersized Suns — 29th in rebounding — even crashed the boards to outrebound the NBA's best rebounding team by seven. *Courtesy of www.newstimes.com
