Steve Francis 15 Points 6 Ast Vs. Suns, 2005-06.
crash the boards. They understand that they have to get as many possessions as they can in order to win this basketball game. Francis defended by Nash. And now Francis will fire right over Steve Nash. First hoop of the night. You know, Kirk can’t get in foul trouble in this game. There’s not many people on the Suns bench that can guard Howard inside. And that will be a difficult matchup all night because of the athleticism, the strength of Dwight Howard. Bucket and one. He’ll head to the line. Gills. Yeah. And you can tell obviously he’s been pumping the weights as well because he came in with a very good body, but it’s gotten better. And you know the key with a good body is to be able to use it, get yourself in position to be and then it’s Joe Johnson and the Hawks in Atlanta on Friday. Nash looking for Marion couldn’t control the pass. Here comes Francis pass. Nash rolls it up. Dwight Howard there on the offensive glass. Are we strong or what? I mean I don’t know. I’ve never been up that high. I can’t tell. You haven’t either, so don’t laugh. Had just the right spin on it. Second field goal for Marion from the outside for two. Deshawn Stevenson to take away the Suns layups and that just allows Steve to just go right down and take the easy shot. Steve will take care of the tempo himself. The Suns trying to pick up the pace here against the slow fitted Magic at least offensively. And they go down low once again to Dwight Howard and he’s also been hampered by injuries so has not played much at all this season. to Eddie House. That shot partially deflected on the run out. Look at Dwight Howard goes up for the pass. Francis to the hoop, finishing with the left. That was a time right there for James Jones who’s not going. Next break in play. Terrence Morris who was a college star at Maryland with the Terrapens. Played a couple of seasons in Houston with the Rockets and Stevie Francis there. Stevie Francis cleaning up his own mess and he will head to the line. Got two fouls and you know gets a little bit of the superstar treatment here. I mean, actually pushes off a little bit on Steve Nash and then gets his own rebound. Fourth personal foul of Steve Francis. Well, Boris needs to just put his warm-ups on heat pad because he probably will not get back into creating now into the corner for Francis. Comes in averaging 16 points per game for Orlando. Second best on the team to Grant Hill. And from the outside, Stevie Francis pumps it home. O’Neal who’s missed a lot of games this year, but Sean Marion is running away right now with that title. Marion in double figures now with 11, five of 10 shooting. And there is Pat Garity from the outside. That’s what’s acquiring Pat Garity. And a number one pick from Dallas for Steve Nash. Nash going to the Mavericks. And by the way, that number one pick that the Suns receive turn into Shawn Mary. There is Pat Garity for three. Yeah, now you have to recognize now. I know that you don’t want to go to the fourth quarter with the opportunity for Brian Heel to try to slow down the tempo. Oh, beautiful. How do you feed Stevie Francis to the Oh, Shawn Marion. Well, the lob play is huge. I mean, it has really become a part of basketball. I mean, most players are either one side of the floor or the other. This guy plays all sides. And that’s why you don’t want to run plays because if you do the start of a trip that can really make you lose some sleep transmission shot another great out of bounds play from Mike Don who has a lot of and uh the energy and just the leadership that he brings, you know, just in overtime for the victory here at home in their last game over the Sacramento basically, you know, pressured him and then so he just went to lay it up and Steve took exception to it.
