I think you mis-typed there Nuke my boy. You should have said, " San Antonio sure showed they can play enough defense to slow down a team that likes to run and gun."
Dont under-estimate the power that the Spurs had in keeping the Suns field goal percentage in the first quarter so low. Its a well known fact.....defense wins championships.
Except they really didn't slow the Suns down. They still scored 114 points. They couldn't stop Stoudemire or Nash.
The shots that normally fall for the Suns didn't fall in the 1st, and that was the point difference in the game.
Game two will be a different game, hopefully we will have Johnson, our third leading scorer back.
