Good win!
They dominated from start to finish. Zach and Marc were unstoppable to start the game.
The bench came in and gave some very productive minutes. Thabeet had a huge stuff on Amare and another swat on someone else, pretty much letting the Suns know that nothing was going to come easy in the paint as long as he was in the game. He also had a couple of baskets.
Mayo was absolutely on fire for most of the game. He hit his first 3 shots and made 4 of 5 3pters. He looked extremely sharp. He also had some very nice dishes. A touch pass to Gasol for a dunk. A drive and dish for Thabeet for a dunk, and a drive and kick for Young for 3. His playmaking is really starting to come along.
Mayo also played good defense. He had another all-around game. This is becoming a trend. I hope he keeps it up.
Young was getting to the foul line with ease and actually hitting those freethrows. He played some very good defense on Hill as well.
Rudy really forced the issue alot. He didn't have it going on either end but he continued to chuck; I guess to get his numbers as always. Hollins had to pull him a couple of times. He was really playing out of the system. He was getting absolutely owned by Amundson (or however you spell it).
Marcus and Hunter came in during garbage time and looked nice.
Overall, it was simply a dominating win. Amare and Nash did what they do, but everyone else was kept in check. Nash got so pissed, he had to be T'ed up. I thought the Suns coach should have also received a tech because he was all out on the floor bitching. This was an embarrassing loss for PHX. Mayo hit a dagger 3 with several minutes left in the 4th; fans started to leave and Phx waved the white flag.
Memphis looked like the superior team. It was quite remarkable how well they were playing. You missed a great one.
