Suns-Warriors Preview

It's probably more likely that the Phoenix Suns will break their six-game road losing streak than it is the Golden State Warriors will end their seven-game overall slide.

One of those streaks will end Saturday night when the Suns look to take advantage of the NBA's worst defensive team.

Phoenix (19-11) is 0-6 on the road since a 113-94 win at Toronto on Nov. 29. The first three losses were by an average of 21.3 points while the last three have been by a total of 10.

That skid could end Saturday against a Golden State team allowing opponents to average 111.8 points and shoot 49.1 percent. The Warriors (7-21) have been hampered by injuries and used seven players in a 108-102 loss at New Orleans in their last game Wednesday.

"I can't ask for anything more out of this team," coach Don Nelson said. "They gave everything they had on a back-to-back. I'm really proud of them. I thought the game was there for us if we just could have made shots down the stretch."

The Suns have won four straight against the Warriors, including a 123-101 home victory in the teams' first meeting this season Oct. 30. Steve Nash scored 18 points and had an NBA season-high 20 assists as Phoenix shot 53.6 percent.

That high-scoring contest, though, pales in comparison to Phoenix's last visit to Oracle Arena. The Suns ended their four-game losing streak in Oakland with a 154-130 victory March 15.

The 284 combined points were the most in the NBA in 2008-09 and the Suns shot 62.1 percent and scored 56 fast-break points, the most since 1997, when the league began to track the stat. Four Phoenix players scored at least 20 points and Nash wasn't among them, with Jason Richardson leading the way with 31.

The Suns, the league's highest-scoring team with 109.0 points per game, will try to beat the Warriors by using the superior depth they showcased Friday night at home. They had seven players in double figures in a 124-93 victory over the Clippers to salvage the finale of a three-game homestand.

"We just needed to have a good win to try to restore a little bit of our confidence," coach Alvin Gentry said.

Amare Stoudemire scored 26 points and Richardson and Jared Dudley each added 18. Stoudemire was the only Sun to log more than 28 minutes as Phoenix was able to rest in preparation for the trip to Oakland.

"It's good for us to realize it's not about just showing up," forward Grant Hill said, "it's about coming out and playing hard."

One of the players to reach double digits was Leandro Barbosa, who scored 12 points in his return after missing 12 games because of a sprained left ankle.

The uptempo pace both teams prefer should result in another big game from Warriors guard Monta Ellis, who is averaging 30.8 points in his last four games and 25.0 for the season. Ellis scored 35 in Wednesday's loss.

"He's one of the best one-on-one players in the league," Hornets forward David West said about Ellis, who has averaged 23.8 points and shot 55.6 percent in his last six home games against the Suns. "You know he's going to get his shots."

Warriors win offensive showdown vs. Suns

By Frank Hughes, for NBA.com

OAKLAND (NBA.com exclusive) -- A good old-fashioned game of fun-filled NBA basketball broke out at Oracle Arena Saturday night.

The Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors, channeling Rick Barry and Tom Chambers, pieced together the second-highest scoring game of the NBA season in what could only be described as an offensive showcase.

The final score, a 132-127 Golden State victory, was almost an afterthought on a night that the teams combined to shoot 55.2 percent and combine for 18 3-pointers.

Almost.

Because the victory actually snapped a seven-game losing streak for Golden State.

"That was kind of a fun game," said Golden State coach Don Nelson, now 16 wins from becoming the league's all-time winningest coach.

Phoenix, meanwhile, extended its number of consecutive road losses to seven.

"I would just say we need to recapture that spirit we had to start the season," said Steve Nash, who had a season-high 36 points and nine assists. "We felt like we were counted out and we were extremely hungry to prove that we were still capable of winning a lot of games. We seem to have lost that a little bit. We feel like we can just walk out there and win games and we don't take care of details. If you don't take care of opportunities like we had tonight, the margin of error is just too small. We need to recapture that spirit we had."

It's been a difficult season for the Warriors, who have suffered a raft of injuries to almost every facet of their depleted roster.

The Warriors had lost 11 of the past 12 games, falling to the second-worst record in the Western Conference and the fifth-worst record in the league.

Only one of the 11 losses had been by less than six points, and six of the 11 have been by double digits.

Not that this one victory makes up for all that heartache, but at the very least it shows that they are capable of playing exciting basketball on occasion.

Of course, it came against a team that mirrors their style of fast-paced play, with plenty of shots hoisted with 18 seconds left on the shot clock and very little defense.

And on this night at least, the Warriors looked more comfortable playing that style, particularly at the end.

With Golden State holding a 127-125 lead, Corey Maggette completed his best game as a Warrior (33 points) with two free throws to put the Warriors ahead by four.

Nash quickly flipped in a basket with 14 seconds left and Anthony Morrow missed one of two free throws to give the Suns a chance to tie the game with a 3-pointer.

But Nash's 28-footer caught back iron, and though Grant Hill rebounded the miss he threw it away, Phoenix's 21st turnover.

"Whichever team was going to miss first was going to lose," Nelson said, "and it was them."

The Warriors have a very difficult stretch of games coming up, including consecutive contests against the Celtics, Lakers and Blazers.

At the very least, they got back one of their two injured centers, Ronny Turiaf, who seemed to add an element of energy and physical play that had been missing during the Warriors' losing streak.

"I was gassed," Turiaf said. "You know when you car is on empty? I was on empty."

Nelson said before the game he also expects to get back starting center Andris Biedrins on Monday against Boston.

Biedrins has missed 25 games with groin and abdominal injuries and his absence has been at least part of the reason the Warriors have been dominated so thoroughly inside this year.

But that did not necessarily matter against the Suns, particularly with Amar'e Stoudemire in foul trouble for most of the evening. He played only 27 minutes and had just nine points and seven rebounds before fouling out with less than a minute left, on the play that sent Maggette to the free throw line.

Nash showed why, even at the ripe old age of 35, he remains one of the premier players in the league, coming only six points shy of his career high of 42 points, including six 3-pointers.

But he was outdone by the combination of Maggette and Monta Ellis, whose 33 points, 10 assists and six rebounds enabled the Warriors to win for the first time since Dec. 9, when they outclassed a two-win New Jersey Nets team.

NOTE: The highest-scoring game of the season was between Atlanta and Toronto, who combined for 261 points on December 2.
