by Cody Clark ~ May 8th, 2010.
In the past years, the San Antonio Spurs have had the Phoenix Suns number when they meet in the playoffs. So for the Suns, a series win against the Spurs in any fashion would be an accomplishment. After being down by six points in the first half, the Suns kicked it in and turned a ten point deficit into a back and forth, trade baskets type of game. Then, first year point guard Goran Dragic replaced Steve Nash and preceded to score 23 of the Suns 39 fourth quarter points, including a falling three pointer in an instance where he was only trying to draw the contact. Dragic scored 26 points in 17 minutes of play, and also posted 3 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal a block and a 10-13 shooting performance from the field (76%) including a 5 for 5 effort on three pointers. Goran Dragic’s breakout game showed head coahch Alan Gentry just what the youngster is made of, and Goran will no doubt see some increased minutes in the deciding game 4 as the Phoenix Suns will lookk the sweep the Spurs and win against the Spurs for the first time since 2003.
