Owner Real Deal Posted February 16, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 DENVER -- With Steve Nash and Grant Hill not playing for Phoenix on Tuesday night, Arron Afflalo and Chris Andersen knew the Nuggets were getting a gift from the Suns. They didn't let the opportunity go to waste. Afflalo scored 20 points, Andersen had 16 points, seven rebounds and six blocks and Denver broke open a close game in the third quarter to beat the short-handed Suns 109-92. Ty Lawson scored 17 points and rookie Kenneth Faried had 13 points and nine rebounds for the Nuggets, who snapped a five-game home losing streak. "It was huge," Afflalo said of winning at home. "It was a great win for us in Indiana but this was even more important because we've got to start establishing ourselves on our home court to let teams know it's not going to be an easy walk here." Markieff Morris had 21 points, Michael Redd had 20 points and Marcin Gortat had 10 points and 14 rebounds for the Suns. Nash and Hill sat out to rest and avoid risking getting hurt Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry said before the game.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120214_PHO@DEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
