8 in a Row!!!!... For the Suns

Well the Golden State Warriors couldn’t continue the win streak tonight against the Phoenix Suns. The final score was 118-110. It was, in my opinion, the battle of the two best point guards in the league, Baron Davis vs. Steve Nash. I have to give the edge to Steve Nash since he scored 28 points, 14 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals. Baron Davis had 28 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals. It was a really fun game to watch. Unfortunately the Warriors didn’t’ have Troy Murphy available because of fever and flu. This cost the Warriors some rebounding, and that is what cost them the game in the last 3 minutes or so. They gave up offensive rebounds that allowed the Suns to get a second chance to score and they did. It was a tough loss for the Warriors, but they should bounce back from it. The Warriors are looking at an even more difficult test on Friday versus the Detroit Pistons who own the best record in the NBA. The Warriors need to get this win just for confidence reasons. They haven’t played well against any of the teams they played this year that were in the playoffs this year. Beating the Warriors could set them in motion for a strong surge through the tough competition they will face in December. A loss could set in motion a losing streak. Let’s hope for the former.
