    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 13 (Ticker) -- The Phoenix Suns were the victims of a comeback. Fortunately for them, they rallied twice to reclaim the league's best record.

    Jim Jackson hit a turnaround jumper with just under 20 seconds remaining as the Suns overcame a four-point deficit with less than a minute to go to post a 106-102 overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors.

    Combined with San Antonio's 96-92 loss at Miami, Phoenix (40-12) moved into a tie with the Spurs for the best record in the NBA, an honor the Suns have held for most of the season. </div>

    Surprisingly good, close game.

    Not suprisingly we were again weak on the offensive boards and it nearly cost us dearly. We gave up too many offensive boards to Seattle and lost. It was a good thing that the Warriors had seemingly forgotten how to win

    yea, the suns were killed on the offensive glass. 5 rebounds to 20+ for the warriors. the warriors could have won it, but there was some really suspect officiating (sp?)
    going on. derek fisher's being out of bounds was a heart-breaker. before that, i thought the warriors could take it.
    well at least golden state showed they had potential, when they managed a massive 20-4 run in the 4th.

    Closer game then most people expected. The one thing that I liked in this game is that our star, Amare Stoudemire didn't have a big game, the four other Suns in the starting lineup then stepped it up and had 20+ points each. Is it me or did Q-Rich actually have more two pointers attempted this game then three pointers [​IMG] That's a first...

    Uhh...am I seeing 31 offensive rebounds from the Warriors here? That's just amazing. Foyle got 20 boards in 29 minutes, he might have gotten 30 had he not fouled out. Marion had a great game though, 21/16. I saw a bit of this game, and I'd thought that the Suns had it for sure. Seems like I should have stayed on that channel though.
