The Phoenix Suns have handed the San Antonio Spurs their first home court loss this season. After winning the last 13 home games, the Spurs put up another great fight keeping the score close. The last ten minutes were amazing as neither team was able to gain more than a two point lead, until the Suns gained the advantage in the last 18 seconds. Grant Hill scored a team high of 22 points while Leandro Barbosa came out strong with 18 points, and Amare Stoudemire had 17 of his own.
Surprisingly, there was little physical contact as the teams made a conscious effort to keep the media hyped rivalry down. There was even friendly banter between the teams. Thus proving, that even though things happen in other games, it is the current game that counts.
