Take That!

by Cody Clark ~ May 24th, 2010.

iFor the past four days, the Phoenix Suns have listened to naysayers that said the Suns were finished after a mere two games. Before last night’s game, Amare Stoudemire vowed that 1; he would go off in game 3, and 2; that the Suns weren’t going quietly. Lets just say he is now 2 for 2 in his predictions. Amare Stoudemire scored 42 points and brought down 11 rebounds, giving him his third 40 point game of his playoff career. Perhaps the bigger feat, however, was that he shot almost as many free throws (18) as the entire Laker team did (20), and made 78% of them. Stoudemire also shot 63% from the field as he led his Suns to a game 3 win over the Lakers. The Lakers led by 3 at the end of the first quarter, but the Suns outscored the Lakers 25-15 in the second to take a seven point lead into halftime. Derrick Fischer and the Lakers wouldn’t go away however, and Fischer’s 11 third quarter points allowed Los Angeles to pull within three heading into the final stanza. The Suns took control of the last quarter with their super effective zone defense and used Amare Stoudemire’s 13 points to turn a three point lead into a 118-109 win. For the first time this postseason, the Lakers have lost when Kobe goes for 30 or more points (he had 36, 9 rebounds, and 1 assists), and the Suns found something that works on defense. The game was still played in the 220-230 total point range, but if the Suns play like they did yesterday again in game 4 at home, this series can get very  interesting very quickly.
