Suns at brink of Elimination

Tonight the Phoenix Suns could not get themselves the series lead, but instead place themselves one loss away from elimination. The Phoenix Suns fell to the Dallas Mavericks by the score of 101-117. Once again the Suns had three 20 or more point scorers with Tim Thomas (26), Shawn Marion (20 points and 10 rebounds) and Steve Nash (20 points and 11 assists), but they were trumped by Josh Howard (23 points) and Dirk Nowitzki who busted out for 50 points and 12 rebounds. This puts the Suns in the position of having to win two games and therefore going to a third game 7 of the playoffs if they are to advance to the NBA Finals. The fight begins on Saturday in Phoenix. Good luck Suns.
