The Suns came away with a 118-115 victory over the just-as-desperate Denver Nuggets on Monday night. I have no idea why the Suns are trying so damn hard, is there a special "Barely Made it Into the Playoffs and Got Pounded by the Lakers" trophy I don't know about? Because the Suns are playing pretty damn hard to get that first round exit.
Okay, enough of my complaining. It was a great win by the Suns, who beat the 4th best team in the west without two of their best players (who I heard were injured in a tragic bowling accident). The bench contributed yet again, I even saw one play where Goran Dragic made a pullup three-pointer and I could have sworn it looked identical to one of Steve Nash's. The Suns are finally starting to reap some benefits (keyword: some) from their younger players. It's gret to see and I'm excited to see it more.
One more quick stat for those who are still not convinced the Suns can make the playoffs: in the 11 days Dallas' lead has been cut from 6 games to 3 games, which I find incredible. As much as everyone thought the Suns were out of it after losing to the Mavericks a couple weeks ago, they are right back on the cusp.
