Suns Even Series with Lakers
|
|
 The
Phoenix Suns are finally making some noise in the Western Conference
Finals by winning Games 3 and 4 by 9 points. What’s amazing about this
turnaround is that the Suns still haven’t had any success guarding Kobe
Bryant. In Game 3 he posted 36 points, 9 rebounds, and 11 assists. In
Game 4 he had 38 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists. He also shot above
50% in both games. However, the contributions from some of the Lakers’
other options were lacking. Lamar Odom and Ron Artest both shot below
50% in Games 3 and 4 and in the 4th quarter of Game 4 especially the
Phoenix defense was forcing them to take a lot of the shots.
Part of me still isn’t
willing to
entertain the thought of Phoenix coming back to win this series. They
still haven’t won a game away from home in the series and they
struggled to play consistent defense in Games 1 and 2. As I saw Amar’e
Stoudemire go off for 42 points in Game 3, I was thinking that they
just got a superhuman performance, and this is going to be their only
win. But their success in Games 3 and 4 has gotten me thinking about
the possibility of them pulling it out.
