    At the season's outset the goals were to win 50 games and reach the playoffs, but after completing January, a month from the depths of scheduling, with an 11-6 record, those goals have changed to finishing first in the Pacific Division and securing home-court advantage in the playoffs.

    D'Antoni said the readjustment came after the Suns completed the month that saw them play 17 games in 30 days - 19 in 33, counting the first two days of February - with a 5-1 road trip.

    "We kind of looked at that (schedule) at the first of the year as kind of a point where we could really see what we have, and to be a game out of first place to San Antonio, we came through it really well," D'Antoni said. "It's too bad we had that six-game skid, but right now, physically and mentally, we feel good and we'll make a big push to the end."

    The Suns play 19 of their final 33 games at America West Arena. </div>
