SEA/PHX 1/3

The game just ended with PHX winning 104-96. Phoenix struggled early in this game, but ended up pulling it out in the end against a very young Seattle team. Kevin Durant had a few chances down the stretch, but the game-ending moment was Durant dribbling the ball off of Raja Bell's foot with just seconds left, down 6 points. Durant finished the game with 28 pts and 7 rebs, a very solid game. Jeff Green had 14 pts and 5 rebs on 4-10 shooting, which is what I would expect from him from now on if he is to start. His numbers could be predicted to be around 13-14 ppg, 6-7 rpg, 2 asts, a block and a steal would not be farfetched. Pick him up people! Phoenix won the game the way a dominant power in the west should have. Amare Stoudemire had a monster 34 pt performance while also pulling down 11 rebs and 3 blks. Shawn Marion had a Marion-esque performance with 11 pts, 14 rebs, a 3, a stl and 2 blks. Nash added a double-double with 17 pts, 10 asts. Everyone played their roles in the PHX win.

A note in this game was Chris Wilcox, who was injured in the 1st half. He was already nursing a knee injury. This finger injury just adds to it. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3606/news;_ylt=Ao0lvBZvprvurFwU9FmF6IKkvLYF
