Shaquille O’Neal lived up to his expectations as he played some tremendous basketball in the final six minutes of the game to seal a victory for the Suns by 94-87 against their arch rivals Texas Spurs. This probably explains why the Suns were determined to have O’Neal in their side. Shaquille O’Neal finished the game with 14 points and had 16 rebounds and he along with Stoudemire helped in sealing the victory for the Phoenix Suns, who now are the only team in the NBA to have not lost a game in their last three appearances this season.

The Spurs who have always had the better hand against the Suns in the past, were not able to penetrate the defensive set up of the Phoenix Suns this time and it shows in the result as they had just 30 field goals and 44 boards to the 52 the Suns had. Phoenix coach Mike D’Antoni said that this was like a playoff game and his team had jelled well in bringing home a win. Steve Nash was the leading scorer of the game for the Suns with 19 points and he said that the team is slowly getting a grip of things and was excited to see the Suns beat the Spurs.
