Phoenix Tops Toronto In Canadian Shootout 117-113

Found January 18, 2009 on Slam Dunk Central:
PLAYERS: Amare Stoudemire,  Steve Nash,  Joey Graham,  Anthony Parker
TEAMS: Phoenix Suns,  Toronto Raptors,  Boston Celtics,  Denver Nuggets

I have admitted on these pages many times that I am a fan of high scoring high octane basketball. Although I have to respect teams that thrive in the slow down half-court low scoring mug and thug contests, I don't have to like it. Give me the original fast break team the 1960 era Boston Celtics, the Show-Time Los Angeles Lakers, or the run and gun Doug Moe Denver Nuggets, I'm like a kid in a circus! I enjoy watching the game played in the air, the player shaking the back board on a thunderous alley-oop dunk! A fast break when the point guard 8 feet from the basket, fires off a no-look pass to his teammate who then drains a trey, that to me is basketball!
