In game three the Suns are now on their home court which gives them a great advantage to win the game because Phoenix plays great at home and feeds off of their very enthusiastic energy. In my previous blog about the Suns I said that the Suns need to be more efficient when it comes to getting their rebounds and they did that exact thing. Amar'e Stoudemire who was struggling to get rebounds against the Lakers went off for forty two points which led both the Lakers and the Suns in points and is also his career high, not only did he have forty two points he had eleven rebounds to go with , having his first double double in the series against the Lakers. In game three the Suns out rebounded the Lakers as you can see in the image that the Suns are boxing out really well making it hard for any body on the Lakers to retrieve a rebound. In the end the Suns won the game by nine points 109-118 even though the Suns were being physical boxing out in the paint the Lakers leader in rebounds Paul Gasol still was able to maintain to get nine rebounds and Kobe Byrant received his second straight double double in the series recording a team high thirty six points and another team high eleven assists but he didn't lead the game it assists it was no other than veteran point guard of the Suns Steve Nash. In my opinion the Suns did a great job of being physical in the paint and feeding off of their crowd's energy, so in conclusion for the next game I pick the Suns to win again and tie up the Series because when their home they play so much better and they also fight harder so my predictions is that the series is going to be tied up two a piece.
