After a loss to the Seattle Sonics, the Suns looked to beat the Cavs. It was a tight one with the game switching leads constantly. Although Tim Hardaway was scoring on them, Marbury did a good job of keeping him at just 33%.

In the forth quarter, Jacobsen went in and instantly drained a 3 ball, starting the run for the Suns. The Suns played lockdown defence as the Cavs were turning it over. The Suns won by 8 and deserved the win with their hard work.


Shawn Marion was interviewed after his amazing performance with 25 points 92% shooting with 12/13. 6 boards, 3 blocks, 4 steals and 2 assists! When asked about how he did it he answered "I just gave my hardest.My teammates helped me a lot, they freed up some space for me because they played well too."

Marbury and Penny Hardaway also had very good games as Marbury had 29 points and 4 assists as well as Hardaway scoring 14 points. Stoudemire was not a factor of the bench but Joe Johnson had made 2 fadeaway shots in the little time he played.

Davis and Miles were the Cavs best weapons with 26 and 17 respectivly.

Jacobsen with the three to start the huge run.

The Phoenix Suns managed to blow out the Houston Rockets, which is no easy feat.


The first quarter was still pretty close between the two, with the score being 26-21 for the Suns. Marbury and Marion were looking strong going into the second quarter.
In the second quarter, Phoenix just dominated Houston. The quarter score was 21-7 and at the half it was 47-28, a 19 point lead for the Suns.

In the third and the fourth quarter, the bench managed to maintain the lead and the game was over 86-68 with 28 bench points.

When interviewing the new head coach, Sam Hashton, he said to us "I liked the way they moved the ball. It was never in a persons hands too long. The right people took the right shots. And the\
stars played solid, just how they need to if we're going to get to the playoffs.

Marbury had a great night, boasting 28 points, 2 blocks and 6 assists. Marion wasn't shabby either, scoring 24 points

The San Antonio Spurs almost stole a game away from the suns, until Marbury came in and stole the game back, winning it for Phoenix.

In the first quarter, the game was still close with the score 19-14 for the Suns. Marbury was trying to distribute a lot more instead
of scoring by himself. When the second quarter came along, the coach put in Erick Barkley who gave 7 points and 3 assists off the bench. Everyone
were getting their touchs and at half time they had out scored the Spurs 19-10, the score 38-24. In the third quarter, the Spurs went on a little
bit of a run to try to make the game closer. Marion had scored 12 of his 19 points in the third quarter just trying to protect the lead. The Spurs
outscored them 25-20 reducing the lead to 9. In the fourth quarter, Parker had made a 3, a layup and had 2 assists. Marbury then put his team on his
shoulders and scored a 3 and a 2 + the foul. The Spurs kept on attacking the lead until it came down to 1 point. Marbury then scored 3 layups in
a row. The Spurs came back scoring 5 points but Marion dunked it on them making the end result 81-77.

The key players for the Suns were Marbury with 30 points, 4 assists and 3 steals. Marion with 19 points 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal. And
Barkley with 7 points and 3 assists. The Suns had a huge team effort where everyone was playing great.

The key players for the Spurs were Ducan with 20 points and 9 rebounds shooting 100%. Lenard with 28 points and Parker with 16 points, 6 steals
and 16 assists.

The closest game Phoenix have had this season, goes into OT, with Phoenix as the victor.

This game was a fun game to watch with the key matchup being Kidd and Payton. The first quarter was great for Penny, scoring 10 of his 14 points in the first quarter. The end result was the
Nets up by 19-18. In the second, it was pretty much the same, with the Nets outscoring Phoenix 20-19 making it 39-37 for New Jersey.

The third quarter was won by Phoenix but it wasn't just offence. They managed to hold New Jersey to only 10 points in the quarter but Phoenix was missing their open shots and layups,
resulting Phoenix outscoring New Jersey 14-10 making the score 51-49 for the Suns. In the final quarter, all seemed lost as Payton had drained the 2 and New Jersey was leading by 2. The Suns had 6
seconds on the clock, this play was key for Phoenix to stay in it. They inbound it into kid, Williams gets position in the post, Kidd finds him, sends the pass and Williams just dunks it for OT.

With the score now at 72-72 OT had started. The game will still close, anyone could have won but only Phoenix took the chance. Last 20 seconds, the Suns down by one, Kidd with the rock in his
hands. Kidd the three over Payton to gain the lead with 82-80. With 10 seconds left, Payton recived the ball, trying to find someone to pass to, he turns the ball over and Phoenix won.

It was a heart breaker for the Nets but a well fought game. Kidd had the monster game with 26 points, 12-18 shooting, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and an astounding 15 assists! Phoenix shot a better
percentage (68%-58%) and outrebounded the Nets (23-15) but overall, it was close, but Phoenix managed to pull away.



Kidd and Williams delivering clutch baskets.

Good Trade and explanation!

Edit: I am actually closing down this dynasty, no one comments to convince me that I should contiune. Maybe I'll create a new dynasty with current rosters.
