Game Goes Into OT
Phoenix were confident going into this match seeing as they already played one match and had won it. Amare stayed calm as did Marion and Nash. That's what key players had to do. Never be over confident.
In the first Phoenix were leading fairly comfortably not to the excitement of the fans. Amare scored 4 points, Marion scored 7.
Marion was the key player in the first quarter being the real standout

In the 2nd it was a different story with the Lakers dominating and out-scoring the Suns 35-28 in that quarter. The score being 62 a piece at the half.
Amare knew that he wasn't performing well, so he got some time on the bench and Brian Grant came in.

Players at the Half
When the third started it was Marion and Kobe who were the standouts both scoring 16 points in that quarter. The Suns were confident going into the fourth.
They had a lead of 10 points and all of their key players were on the court.
The third finished off 106-96

Although that was not the case. Kobe Bryant was on fire and tied it to make it go into overtime.
Even in OT it was a battle to the wire with 10 seconds Steve Nash had the ball with the score at 155-156. He shot with pressure on him but had missed.
The Lakers just ran down the time to get their first win of the season.
The Suns now go 1-1.
