INJURY REPORT Phoenix- Joe Johnson (broken bone in wrist) out indefinitely; Leandrosa Barbosa (broken toe) out indefinitely

KEY MATCHUP: STEVE NASH VS. BARON DAVIS
Davis was acquired by the Warriors on the day of the trade deadline and he is leading the Warriors in scoring and assists. He partcipated in the 3-point contest along with Nash and is a very strong type of point guard who can go in the post. Nash may have to get his players involved more than scoring the ball because of Davis strong defense. Expect for alot of picsk to be set for Nash in this game.

INSIDE THE WARRIORS
Golden State is now forming into a good team, at least on paper. Adding Baron Davis with Jason Richardson will make them one of the best backcourts in the league. They combine for 43.3ppg, 10.3rpg and 10.8apg. Mike Dunleavy Jr. is also a serious threat on the team, averaging 18.4ppg, 7.8rpg and 4.5spg.

INSIDE THE SUNS
The Suns are 5-1 in the month of March and this will be their last game at home until they hit the road next week and face the Grizzlies, Hawks, Bobcats, Heat and the Magic for their 2nd longest road trip this season.

Too bad.... Jimmy Jackson could play a little point forward.

yea, i think thats my best option right now because i don't want to put Q at the point because he really ain't that type of ball handler.

PHOENIX, March 18 (Ticker) -- Jim Jackson was dialed in from long distance. Jackson made four 3-pointers and scored 23 points to help lead the Phoenix Suns to a hard fought 118-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors, who lost to Sacramento on Thursday, almost had the games in their hands until they let things slip away late in the 4th quarter. Golden State broke open the contest with a 12-0 run in the fourth quarter, taking a 95-85 lead with 8:46 to play. After that, it was all Phoenix as they outscored the Warriors 33-15 for the rest of the quarter as they didn’t score until the 8:22 mark.

Davis scored 13 first-quarter points and combined with Mike Dunleavy Jr. for a 12-3 run late in the period that gave the Warriors a 25-22 lead at the end of the first quarter. Amaré Stoudemire scored 15 of his 32 points in the fourth period to lead the charge for Phoenix. Jason Richardson scored 19 of his 23 points in the second half and dished out 5 assists, while Troy Murphy had a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds for Golden State, which loss for the 17th-time in its last 19 meetings at Phoenix. Shawn Marion edged a double-double with 22 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists and Quentin Richardson scored 22 points for the Suns while shooting 6-10 from downtown.

The Suns shot 13-24 from three point range which was one of their best performances all this season. The Warriors shot very well from the field, but the Suns just outscored them in the 4th quarter which is what counted. Steve Nash had trouble in tonight’s game on the offensive end and just couldn’t get hot as he shot 3-12 from the field and 1-6 from downtown for 9 points, but still managed to dish out 7 assists. “I knew my teammates we’re going to get the job done if my game wasn’t top shape tonight,” Nash said. “I just had to give them the ball and they made plays happen.” Steve Nash played 42 minutes in tonight’s game, and as expected, Jim Jackson had some point guard duties tonight. He was busy doing a lot more shooting than passing, but he ended up dishing out 2 assists in the game, but shot 7-9 from the field overall.

INJURY REPORT Phoenix- Joe Johnson (broken bone in wrist) out indefinitely; Leandrosa Barbosa (broken toe) out indefinitely

KEY MATCHUP: SUNS BENCH VS. GRIZZLIES BENCH
The Suns are lacking players with two key injured players. There bench has extremely gotten weak and it will be key for Walter McCarty to have a great game tonight coming off the bench. Three of the top Grizzlies bench players (Wells, Battier, Wright) combine for 26.5ppg and is one of the best benches in the league this season.

INSIDE THE SUNS
Phoenix is coming off their 2nd straight win and they are averaging 111.5ppg in their seven games in March which is a team record. Tonight will start their 5-game road trip on the East coast.

INSIDE THE GRIZZLIES
Mmephis proves to be no fluke from last season, as they currently have the 6th best record in the league and are 5th in the Western Conference with 43 wins. Memphis is coming off a loss to Minnesota on Friday night.

Grizzlies Outrun Suns
Depth was the key of this game

Grizzlies-116

Marion was knocked down early in the game by Gasol

MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 20 (Ticker) -- The Phoenix Suns couldn’t get their 50th win of the season due to the strong play of the Memphis Grizzlies in the 3rd quarter of the game. Jim Jackson scored a team-high 24 points, including 4-7 from three point range in, but it just wasn’t enough to lift the Suns past Memphis as the Grizzlies won 116-103 in the FedEx Forum. The Suns entered the game in first place in the Western Conference but the Spurs didn‘t trail them by far. Although fifth in the West, the Grizzlies hadn‘t won a game yet against the Suns this season.

Grizzlies defensive swingman, James Posey was hot in the 3rd quarter, scoring 14 of his 25 points in that quarter and helping the Grizzlies outscore the high-powered Suns 38-22 in the quarter. Posey also grabbed 11 rebounds, dished out six assists and had five steals in the game in 45 minutes. “He did it all for us tonight,” Coach Mike Fratello said. “He was playing on the defensive end, knocking down outside shots and crashing the boards and there wasn’t too much more you could ask from him.” Posey was guarding Jim Jackson, who scored 24 points, but only shot 8-19 from the field. "Jimmy was huge for us tonight," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. "He plays 43 minutes and guards their most affective swingman. Unfortunately, it didn’t work well for us tonight as we fell apart in the 3rd quarter.”

"There's no one team we want to play in the playoffs," Jackson said. "If this team is in our path when the playoffs come around, then we just have to handle it and take care of business." Nash added 22 points and 10 assists for the Suns, who couldn’t continue their great performances on the road this season. The Suns’ starters combined for 96 points, while their bench only had 7 points and the Grizzlies bench outscored the Suns bench 17-7. "They are a very tough team to beat especially when everyone has the green light," Grizzlies forward Pau Gasol said. "They all have the green light to shoot for three every time, and they make them. When you're hitting twos and they're hitting threes, eventually they're going to pull off so that‘s why we had to match their shooting percentage from the outside. We hit some big threes in the 3rd quarter to win it."

"We had some looks down the stretch, and we executed," Grizzlies coach Mike Fratello said. Give Phoenix credit, they keep coming at you and put pressure on you." Phoenix, just shot 41 percent (34-of-82) in the game compared to the Grizzlies 50% shooting. Quentin Richardson scored just 9 points, but grabbed 10 rebounds, Amare Stoudemire added 21 and Shawn Marion 20 and 8 rebounds for Phoenix.

SUNS VS. HAWKS
Phillips Arena, Atlanta, 5:40 p.m., PST

TV, radio: FSAZ; KTAR 620
Records: Suns, 49-16; Hawks, 17-49.
INJURY REPORT Phoenix- Joe Johnson (broken bone in wrist) out indefinitely; Leandrosa Barbosa (broken toe) out indefinitely

KEY MATCHUP: SHAWN MARION VS. AL HARRINGTON
Harrington is basically the only threat on this plagued Hawks team. He is the leading scorer, averaging 19.4ppg and 9.7rpg. Most of the scoring load has went to him since Walker was traded to the Celtics. He is the only Hawks player to start all 66 games for the team. Marion and Harrington have very similar characteristics so it should be a fun matchup.

INSIDE THE SUNS
Phoenix started their road trip with a loss to the Grizzlies on Sunday. They have a chance to redeem themselves against the Hawks. The Suns will look for their 50th win tonight and be one of few teams to win 50 games right after losing 50 games the previous season. Phoenix is now guarenteed a playoff berth for this season.

INSIDE THE HAWKS
The Hawks have the 2nd worse record in the league, sitting 4.5 games ahead of the Warriors. Even though they have the 2nd worse record, they still aren't eliminated from playoff contention in the Eastern Conference.

PROBABLE STARTERS

C-Amare Stoudemire

Nash was one of four Suns to have a double-double tongiht

ATLANTA, March 22 (Ticker) -- Amare Stoudemire kept the Phoenix Suns rolling on the road. Stoudemire scored 25 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and dished out six assists as the Suns posted their NBA-best 26th road win of the season in a 127-77 blowout over the Atlanta Hawks. Playing the second contest of a five-game road trip, the Suns won their 7 of their last 8 away games and matched a team record for road wins in a season. "We need to keep winning," Stoudemire said. "We have seven more road games. We have to close it out and try to get home-court advantage. That's our focus right now."

The game was never close as the Suns finished the first quarter up 30-17. "We came out and our offense was on and our free throws were on," Stoudemire said. "We was in attack mode. We knew we needed this game and we played like we did." With Stoudemire dishing our six assists, he showed a side that he has rarely showed this season and that is his point guard vision. "He's an All-Star," Atlanta coach Mike Woodson said of Stoudemire. "He's a young, big-time talent. He's hard to defend one-on-one and he beats double-teams, too. I don't know how to stop him."

In addition to being unable to stop Stoudemire, the Hawks also were not able to stop themselves from fouling the Suns so much. Three of Atlanta’s starters committed 5 fouls in the game. Atlanta had 26 fouls overall compared to 20 for Phoenix. "You have to execute when you're playing a team like (Phoenix), but when you can’t get within’ 9 points of the team, what’s the point of trying to execute,“ said Atlanta guard Tony Delk, who finished with 6 points. Shawn Marion collected 26 points and 10 rebounds and Steve Nash added 19 and 11 assists for Phoenix (50-16), which became the ninth team to win 50 games after losing 50 the season before. "That's what happens when you have talent already, and they get better, and then you add talent to it," Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni said. "The front office did a great job of assembling a group of athletic players. (We) added Steve Nash and Quentin Richardson to a talented group."

With the victory, the Suns took a half-game lead over idle San Antonio for the best record in the Western Conference. "I think we're playing as good as anybody and we can play with anybody," D'Antoni said. "On any given night, we should be able to take anyone." Al Harrington scored 23 points and Donta Smith had 11 for Atlanta, which has the 2nd worse record in the league (17-50).

KEY MATCHUP: AMARE STOUDEMIRE VS. EMEKA OKAFOR
Okafor is the leading canidate for Rookie of the Year averaging 17.5ppg and 12.4rpg for the Bobcats. He is the perfect matchup for Stoudemire as they stand at the same height. Amare is a little more athletic, but Okafor is a great shot blocker averaging 1.8bpg.

INSIDE THE SUNS
The Suns are playing their first back-to-back game since February 26-27. After tonight's game, they get one day of rest before playing their last two road games back-to-back. Phoenix blew the Atlanta Hawks out last night by 50 points.

INSIDE THE BOBCATS
The Bobcats are one game away from reaching the 20-win plateau and they are having a season in which many expansion teams have and what most people expected them to have. They are the 4th worse team in the laegue and they are currently on a 5-game losing skid.

Suns’ High-Flying Road Show Continues
Another big night from the Suns’ starters

Stoudemire had another double-double against the Bobcats

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 23 (Ticker) -- Sharing the ball makes travel easier to tolerate for coach Mike D'Antoni and the Phoenix Suns. Shawn Marion scored 28 points and Steve Nash scored 20 points and dished out 11 assists for the Suns who won a franchise-record 27th road game by posting a 110-88 triumph over the Charlotte Bobcats. The Suns (51-16) also set a franchise record with biggest blowouts in back-to-back contests and are 1½ games ahead of the San Antonio Spurs in the battle for first place in the Western Conference.

"It's a little goal we've talked about," D'Antoni said. "Plus we're 27-8 on the road. Those two things we are very proud of. That's a testament to this team. I think we've proved we're a pretty good team." Marion scored 18 first-half points, including nine during a 22-4 spurt bridging the 2nd and 3rd quarters that gave the Suns a 81-61 at the end of the 3rd quarter. "You cannot afford to have deficits against a basketball team of that caliber," Bobcats coach Bernie Bickerstaff said. "They are the real deal as a basketball team, with Steve Nash distributing the basketball and the way they can make those open shots."

"They played great defense to start the game," Nash said. "But we started to turn our game up a couple of notches. For us, the game was really won in the 2nd half." The Bobcats opened the fourth quarter with three buckets by Jason Kapono and got within 81-67 before Richardson converted a three-point play after dunking a feed from Nash, giving the Suns an 84-62 edge. "Once we move the ball, we can get anything we want," Stoudemire said. "Tonight was one of those nights. Everybody was pretty much on."

"We established ourselves early," Marion said. "The key was maintaining our energy level on the defensive end, especially when the Bobcats made their run. But we just kept our composure and closed it out." Stoudemire scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and Jim Jackson added 21 points in place of the injured Joe Johnson. Coupled with Tuesday's victory at Atlanta, Phoenix has posted back-to-back wins against the two weakest teams in the East and will meet Miami on Friday in a battle of 50-win squads. "It will be a great game with teams (that) play two different styles," D'Antoni said. "We'll see who has the will to play their style for 48 minutes. This is a game we've been waiting for. It's big for us because if we win, we get the tiebreaker, which would be nice."

Gerald Wallace scored 17 points and grabbed 7 rebounds to lead four players in double figures for Charlotte, which has lost six straight. Brevin Knight scored 13 points and and dished out 7 assists and Kareem Rush added 11 off the bench. "The Bobcats never quit," D'Antoni said. "They never have all year. They shot the ball extremely well in the first half and made it a game. We were just glad they were cold at first."

Congratulations for your 50+ victories

[-BHZMAFIA-]

Great dynasty! You better beat the bobcats by 50 too

thanx, i was surprised that the bobcats actually put up a better fight than the hawks. i was too much worried about okafor and i let the other players get away, but i beat them up bad in the 2nd half

I smell a win for Charlotte.

well you got a good sense of smell

Man you are on fire on the road
Congratulations for your 50+ victories

yep, except for that loss to the grizzlies...and thanks on the congrats...maybe 60 wins can come next

Everyone, I will try to post one more game tonight and that will be the game against the Heat.

KEY MATCHUP: AMARE STOUDEMIRE VS. SHAQUILLE O'NEAL
This is a very big matchup tonight, with Shaq having a very big advantage over the much smaller Stoudemire. Don't expect Stoudemire to back down though, because he has the athletic ability and an improved jumpshot that can give "The Daddy" some trouble. Shaq is grabbing 11.9rpg for the Heat and he takes up alot of space in the paint. Expect to see alot of double teams coming from Marion, and the other players playing power forward and they will try to force Haslem to make jumpshots.

INSIDE THE SUNS
Phoenix will be in Florida for the remainder of their road trip as they face the Orlando Magic tomorrow night. The Suns are coming off a win against two of the weakest teams in the league, so the Suns should be rested for this game.

INSIDE THE HEAT
The Heat are 18-2 in their last 20 games and are playing some of the best basketball heading into the postseason. They are currently on a 4-game winning streak with Shaq being a top five canidate for MVP.
