Captain Canada Leads Phoenix

Captain Canada, Steve Nash, had a stellar performance in his native country. A catalyst on the offensive end, Nash guided the Suns to their season-high 136 points in their 136-123 victory over the Raptors. The five-time All-Star found open men and created solid opportunities as he finished with a season-high 18 dimes going along with his 10 points. With 17 assists Tuesday night against the Pacers, Mr. MVP became the first player since 2002 to amass 35 dimes in back-to-back nights. Nash explained to the Arizona Republic, "I want to try to get these guys as many shots as I can and feeling confident about themselves and feeling good. If I don't have to shoot, I have no problem not shooting," Nash said. "I'm happy to distribute and find my teammates and get their confidence going and try to find that natural rhythm of our team."

Referred to on national television as Captain Canada, Steve Nash had a stellar performance in his native country. A catalyst on the offensive end, Nash guided the Suns to their season-high 136 points in their 136-123 victory over the Raptors. The five-time All-Star found open men and created solid opportunities as he finished with a season-high 18 dimes going along with his 10 points. With 17 assists Tuesday night against the Pacers, Mr. MVP became the first player since 2002 to amass 35 dimes in back-to-back nights. Nash explained to the Arizona Republic, "I want to try to get these guys as many shots as I can and feeling confident about themselves and feeling good. If I don't have to shoot, I have no problem not shooting," Nash said. "I'm happy to distribute and find my teammates and get their confidence going and try to find that natural rhythm of our team."

2. Manu Scores 37 as a Starter

It was inevitable that the starting line up would change when the Spurs lost nine-time All-Star Tim Duncan to an ankle injury. Who better to be promoted to a starting role than the team's second highest scorer, Manu Ginobili? Despite a finger injury that had some guessing if the Argentinean star would even play Wednesday night against Dallas, Ginobili was on the floor at tip-off for the first time this season. Bringing the same energy as he does when coming off the bench, the front runner for the Sixth Man of the Year Award scored a season-high 37 points to help lift the Spurs over the Mavs, 97-95. Ginobili told the San Antonio Express-News, "There was no doubt in my mind I was going to help these guys tonight," Ginobili said. "Of course, I didn't think I would have a game like this." Ginobili proved whether he is a starter or a reserve, he can always play like a champ. The game's high scorer also received the honor of Dunk of Night after flying above DeSagana Diop and Josh Howard for the jam.

3. Parker Leads Team

Despite losing teammate Tim Duncan to an injury in the second quarter of Sunday night's matchup against Portland, Tony Parker remained focused on the task at hand. Parker told the AP," There were still like eight minutes left in the second quarter, so we just had to keep playing, keep playing and then whatever happens, happens." Parker remained a strong leader for his team, posting a game-high 27 points along with eight assists. With Duncan sidelined for the majority of the game, Parker guided the Spurs with a 100-79 victory in front of a home crowd.

4.Barbosa Scores 35 in Suns' Win

With Ginobili in the Spurs' starting lineup, Phoenix's Leandro Barbosa was the league's most productive sixth man on Wednesday night. If Phoenix's offense wasn't good enough with just the starting five, Brazilian native Barbosa, came off the bench at the Air Canada Centre and fired up. With the game-high 35 points, Barbosa had the second best scoring night of his career. Helping his team reach a season-high, the Suns defeated the Raptors 136-123. Scoring a measly four points on Tuesday night against the Pacers, Barbosa told the AP after Wednesday night's matchup, "Last night I didn't have a good game but today was different."

5. Stojakovic's Makes Clutch Shot

New Orleans ended a 21-game losing streak to Dallas on Saturday night. Down by three with five seconds left in the fouth, Peja Stojakovic drained a three to push the game into overtime where the Hornets prevailed 110-106. Once the ball was in Stojakovic's possession the Mavs expected trouble as Dirk Nowitzki told the Star-Telegram, "There is no way we should give up a 3-pointer with five seconds left, especially to Stojakovic," Nowitzki said. "We've got to deny him the ball and not let him catch it there."For his clutch performance Stojakovic's received the Haier Play of the Day honor.

6. Varejao is Retained by Cavs

The Cleveland Cavaliers have shelled out the cash, matching the Bobcats offer to restricted free agent Anderson Varejao. The Brazilian native is now under contract with the Cavs. Prior to this season Varejao spent two seasons in Cleveland averaging 6.3 points and 5.4 rebounds. A spark off the bench, the player with the best head of hair in the NBA will provide Cleveland with much needed depth when he returns to the floor.
