The Suns beat the Jazz 118-114 on Wednesday night. It was an excellent night for the Suns to be on national TV, as they got a chance to show the nation how damn good they are playing. It was also a great night for the national audience to see the Jazz, and especially Mehmet Okur's goofy ass, lose a close game. The MVP of the game had to be Grant Hill, not only for his clutch fade away jumper in the final minute, but for a great game all around (26 points, 5 boards, 2 steals). The bench also played really well yet again, especially Louis Amundson (who now has his own crowd chant) and Goran "deep" Dragic (I'm totally calling the suns with that nickname idea). Finally, Jason Richardson (pictured above probably missing a dunk) had another solid game, scoring 21 points and hittinga couple shots late to help seal the game.
The Suns are once again the most exciting team in the NBA, but not for the same reasons as before. It's not the three pointers and highlight dunks by Amare, instead it's frantic defense, Shaq (just in general), and exciting bench players. Even if we only get 11 more games with this team this year, I'll enjoy each and every one of them.
P.S. Sorry to be so lovey-dovey I'm just excited after a big win!
