ATLANTA -- On the eve of his 38th birthday, Steve Nash showed he can still control a game.

 

Nash had 24 points and 11 assists while missing only three shots, and the Phoenix Suns closed the third quarter with a 24-6 run and beat the Atlanta Hawks 99-90 on Monday night.

 

Nash, whose birthday is Tuesday, made nine of 12 shots - including each of his four 3-pointers.

 

"He's still one of the better point guards in the league," Hawks coach Larry Drew said. "He's very crafty. He gets the ball to the open man. He's still making shots. He's 38, but you'd never know it when you watch him play."

 

Nash had discomfort in his right shoulder during the team's shooting practice Monday morning and again before the game.

 

"I feel good and I enjoy playing," Nash said after having treatment on the shoulder following the game.

 

Nash said the shoulder "wasn't bad."

 

Channing Frye, who had 19 points, said Nash doesn't show his age on the court.

 

"He never plays like his age, and he's always getting involved," Frye said. "He's huge for our team. He's awesome to play with."
