Owner Real Deal Posted February 12, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- No longer are the Phoenix Suns a fast-paced team that wins games solely with its run-and-gun style. They can play a little defense now, too. The Suns were effective in slowing down Sacramento, and Jared Dudley had 20 points and 10 rebounds for Phoenix, which never trailed in defeating the Kings 98-84 on Saturday night. The victory was the fourth in five games for the Suns, who have won their last three on the road. Phoenix took a double-digit lead in the second quarter and maintained a comfortable margin for the remainder of the game. Phoenix shot 50 percent and hit eight 3-pointers, which are numbers that seem typical of Suns teams in the past. What wasn't typical in previous seasons was holding a team to 35 percent shooting and blocking 11 shots, including four by center Marcin Gortat and three by reserve forward Markieff Morris. "We did a good job of keeping a man in front of them and made the Kings take bad shots," Dudley said. "We've been playing a lot better lately, especially on the road."http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120211_PHO@SAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
