    Here's a well done re-cap of Phoenix exciting come from behind victory over the Spurs last night. A lot is being made about the suspensions, but here's a look back at some key plays during Phoenix's 16-3 run.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">There was an extended moment as the game began to slip away from Phoenix last night early in the fourth quarter when the reality and breadth of their underachievement set in: The Phoenix Suns, the team that had rescued professional basketball in North America, the most likable squad in our lifetime, pro sports' fair-haired kids. Yet here they were, stumbling home from a bender, wrapping the family car around a telephone pole. If they lose this series with a whimper, they'll be broken into several little pieces, only to be reassembled as an unrecognizable derivation of what we all know and love.


    When Tony Parker hit a couple of free throws with 3:58 left in the game, the Spurs extended their narrowing lead back up to seven. And, as we know, San Antonio isn't the kind of team that blows seven point leads at home. What follows is a 16-3 run that, at least momentarily, saves the Phoenix Suns from sports mortality: </div>
