I knew the Spurs had it in them. They just have a better overall team than the Suns. Plus you take away the Suns fastbreak, then they have nothing. Plus their smallball just doesn't work as effectively against high quality teams. Spurs... best team in the NBA at the moment. Best all around too. Heat now own the best winstreak in the league at 12!!!
The Spurs really made a stand vs. Phoenix. They played the team with the best record in the league, and won by 21. Great games from Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. When the Spurs are playing like this, they will be extremely tough for anyone to beat.
Spurs did a great job getting to the rim then passing out. With gave guys like Bowen, Manu and TP plenty of open looks which they made with ease. Suns did such a poor job getting out to the shooters. The Suns defense was TERRIBLE, It's been a while since I've seen a team play do lazy on the defensive end. When you double TD you must quickly rotate out, the Suns did not do that at all. After halftime one would think a good coach would change his game plan and play Duncan straight up but that never happened. They looked like they had been out drinking the night before. If you don't play defense against the Spurs you have no chance to beat them, purely because of the effect the whole team plays on defense. I'm sure If Parker wanted to he could of easily scored 40, which he likely would of done If the game was close. The 21 point result really flattered the Suns.
