Warriors took down the Suns and the West has a new leader: the Hornets

 

Incredible display of talent yesterday night when the Suns fell just by two points to the Warriors with the final score 120-118 and with this win, the Warriors moved the Suns a stair down from the leadership of the Western Conference, the new leader are now the Hornets.

No team had the lead with more than 8 points during the whole night, it really felt like a playoff game since every both squads were converting every time they’d approach to the rival’s net, and with just 2 seconds on the clock, the Suns had the chance to win the game, they handled the ball to Leandro Barbosa, who threw for a 3 pointer that could have given the final 121 advantage to Phoenix, but the Brazilian failed it and so the Warriors started to celebrate their victory.

Amare Stoudemire had an awesome night with 29 points and 13 rebounds, and Shaq just observed the match from the bench, nobody is certain when is going to be the debut of “The Diesel” with the mighty Suns.

Shaq himself has stated that he doesn’t want to go in and prevent his new team to keep on performing the way they have being doing it lately, he doesn’t want to the motive of a sudden slow down.

But this victory was mostly in the hands of Monta Ellis, who finished with 37 points for the Warriors, and Golden State won without their newest star: Chris Webber, who was at the Arena but wearing street clothes, comments says that Webber hasn’t look good in the first 3 games he started, maybe a little tired and at a certain level, disoriented.

Tonight might come the chance for Shaq to play for the first time with Phoenix who is playing the Mavs before taking a well deserved break, and so it is the perfect chance to see if O’Neal has what it takes to be part of the team with the most potential to make it to make it pass the playoffs.
