Suns-Warriors Preview

The Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors seemingly always play high-scoring affairs, and there's nothing to suggest the renewal of this Pacific Division rivalry will be any different.

It's been nearly five years since a game between these teams didn't include both scoring more than 100 points, a trend expected to continue Thursday night with both struggling defensively as their season series begins.

The Suns (8-9) have won eight of the last 10 meetings, averaging 123.8 points and giving up 117.0. Their past 17 games with the Warriors (8-10) have seen both teams cross the century mark in scoring, a streak dating to Phoenix's 112-99 win Jan. 12, 2006.

The winning team had at least 123 points in all four matchups last season and the most recent was among the highest-scoring in series history, with the Suns winning 133-131 in Oakland on March 22.

Former Warrior Jason Richardson scored 34 in that victory and is coming off a season-high 39 points Sunday against a Denver team missing Carmelo Anthony, but the Suns lost 138-133 in the league's highest-scoring game of the season.

"I think it is just giving up too many of those drives, myself included and everybody. Not going out there and playing with aggression," Richardson said. "We know we can score offensively; we can't just rely on our offense to go out there and win games for us. We have got to find ways to get stops, key stops. You can't let a team score 130 points."

Phoenix has lost five of seven while giving up an average of 119.4 points, letting opponents shoot 52.0 percent from the field.

Three of the Suns' last five opponents have posted their highest point totals of the season.

"You can't win a game where you don't guard anybody," coach Alvin Gentry said. "You got to guard somebody. You got to guard one person."

Gentry's team is allowing a league-high average of 111.9 points. Golden State is fourth-worst at 106.5.

That average is at 112.4 during the Warriors' current 1-6 slump following a 118-98 home loss to San Antonio on Tuesday.

Stephen Curry scored 32 points, but Monta Ellis was held to 12 - less than half his season average. The Warriors are 5-1 when Ellis has at least 25 points.

They're 4-1 when holding teams under 100 points, something that's happened once in the past three weeks.

The good news for Golden State is David Lee is closer to full strength. After scoring 10 points on 5-of-15 shooting in his return Saturday after missing eight games with an elbow infection, Lee was 7 of 12 for 18 points Tuesday.

The Warriors closed November losing to the league's top team record-wise and their first six games this month all come against playoff teams from last season. Following this contest, Golden State plays 11 of 16 on the road.

"We're gonna learn a lot about our team here in December and the most important thing is that we stay together as a team," said Lee, averaging 23.3 points and 12.3 rebounds in his last three games versus Phoenix.

Richardson leads the Suns over Warriors

Posted Dec 03 2010 2:28AM

OAKLAND, Calif.(AP) Jason Richardson still enjoys the atmosphere in his old stomping grounds, where he remains popular among fans. He even credits them for getting him ready to play.

Richardson scored 25 points against his former team and Grant Hill added 24 to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 107-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.

"I'm used to playing here," Richardson said. "The fans, every time I come, it's a standing ovation when they announce my name. They get me up. I played here for six years, and there's familiarity. I had some great times here. It's a great place to play."

Steve Nash added 13 points and matched his season high with 16 assists as the Suns beat Golden State for the ninth time in 11 meetings.

"The guy is 36 and he's still able to go out there, have 16 assists and control the game," Richardson said. "He helps everybody become better players. It's amazing what he's doing at his age and still able to be a top-five point guard in this league."

Channing Frye had 10 points, matching his career best with a 10th straight double-figure game, and grabbed 10 rebounds. It was his first double-double of the season.

Monta Ellis scored 38 points for the Warriors, who have lost four straight at home and seven of eight overall. David Lee added 25 points and Dorell Wright had 10 points and a season-high 10 rebounds.

Ellis missed a pair of free throws with 3:16 left, which he said was the turning point of the game.

"If I hit those we would have been down just one," he said. "We made some mistakes but it was a great game and we gave ourselves a chance to win."

Warriors point guard Stephen Curry missed time in the first half when he was poked in the eye.

"That slowed me down," Curry said. "I was initiating the offense well and getting people involved. It just took me a while to get back."

The Suns led 52-49 at the half.

The teams both surpassed the century mark for the 18th straight time in their series, dating to January, 2006.

Richardson and Hill combined to shoot 73 percent (19 of 26) from the field, while the rest of the team combined for 44.6 percent.

"He plays well when he comes back here, which is nice," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said of Richardson. "His defense has improved dramatically and he shot the ball well."

Phoenix took a 75-72 lead into the fourth quarter. Jared Dudley sank a pair of free throws with 6:53 remaining to put the Suns up 93-79, their biggest lead of the night.

The Warriors scored the next 10 points, with Rodney Carney capping the rally with a 3-pointer from the corner. Ellis missed a pair of free throws that would have closed the gap to one and the Suns took advantage to pad their lead. The Warriors never got any closer.

The Suns scored the final nine points of the first quarter to open a 31-20 advantage.

NOTES: The Warriors play 11 of their next 16 games on the road. ... Ellis reached 30 points for the fourth time this season and 44th of his career. ... Hill extended his double-figure scoring streak to nine games, the most since he scored in 10 straight in December, 2007. ... Richardson averages 23.1 points against the Warriors, his most against any team. ... Warriors C Andris Biedrins left the game in the fourth quarter with stomach pain. ... Ellis' 38 points is a Suns' opponent season-high.

Suns-Warriors notebook

By Geoff Lepper, for NBA.com
Posted Friday December 3, 2010 2:40AM

THE FACTS: Jason Richardson scored 25 points, Grant Hill had 24 and the Phoenix Suns managed to outrebound their opponents for only the second time all season to help secure a 107-101 victory against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. Steve Nash added 13 points and 16 assists for Phoenix (9-9), which bobbed back to .500 for the third time in the last two weeks. Monta Ellis' 38 points, on 16-for-27 shooting from the floor, went by the boards for the Warriors (8-11), who have lost four consecutive games at home.

QUOTABLE: "I think it's the motivation. I'm used to playing here. The fans, every time I come, it's a standing ovation when they announce my name. They get me up. I played here for six years, and there's familiarity. I had some great times here. It's a great place to play."
-- Richardson on his success as a visitor at Oracle Arena, where he's averaged 24.3 points per game since being traded by Golden State in 2007

THE STAT: With 7-footer Earl Barron inserted into the starting lineup, Phoenix tallied 37 rebounds to 31 for the Warriors. The only other time the Suns have done that this season was on Nov. 5 in a 123-118 win against Memphis.

TURNING POINT: Immediately after Ellis keyed a 9-0 blitz -- scoring seven points and assisting Andris Biedrins on a layup -- midway through the third quarter to tie the game up at 66, Richardson responded in kind, knocking down a 22-footer, then feeding Hedo Turkoglu for a 3-pointer and Nash for a 7-foot runner and a 73-68 advantage. Phoenix withstood the Warriors' run and never game up the lead.

HOT: Richardson started hot from the jump, scoring 12 points in the first quarter -- five of them during a period-ending 9-0 run that staked Phoenix to an early lead. It was a fifth straight game with at least 20 points for Richardson, who hung 39 on Denver on Sunday.

NOT: It was a rough night for Stephen Curry, who was scratched in both eyes by Barron late in the first quarter. He was treated with saline drops and returned less than a minute into the second period, but struggled much of the rest of the way, including a nightmarish fourth quarter: Curry checked in with 8:48 remaining, promptly coughed up a turnover, followed it up with a silly foul and was yanked by coach Keith Smart, who didn't bring him back until there was only 3:02 left.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Ellis broke out of what constitutes a slump for the NBA's sixth-leading scorer -- he came in averaging 17.3 points over his last six games -- with his fourth 30-point game of the season. He played all 48 minutes for the second time in three games, which is a great way to rack up stats for fantasy owners.

QUOTABLE II: "He is so hard to guard in the open court, he really is as good as anyone in the league. We tried to give our defenders some help guarding him, and then he found some open guys for (3-pointers), so ultimately we just decided to stay home on the shooters down the stretch."
-- Suns coach Alvin Gentry on Ellis

INSIDE THE ARENA: Miguel Tejada, the former Oakland A's star who signed a one-year deal this week to join the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants, was in the second row at courtside.

GOOD MOVE: Despite watching his reserves cough up an 11-point lead after the first quarter, Gentry stuck with his guns to start the fourth period, sending out four subs to accompany starting center Channing Frye. That group quickly grew a three-point lead to 10 before handing off a 93-86 advantage to Nash, Richardson and Hill at the 5:35 mark.

NOTABLE: Nash's 16 assists tied his season-high. . . . Warriors forward Dorell Wright had a season-high 10 rebounds, but went just 2-for-7 on 3-pointers. . . . Biedrins missed the entire fourth quarter after being beset by an upset stomach. He finished with four points and three rebounds in 23:33.

UP NEXT: For the Suns, Friday vs. Indiana, Sunday vs. Washington, Tuesday at Portland. For the Warriors, Sunday at Oklahoma City, Tuesday at Dallas, Wednesday at San Antonio.
