I almost was to give up on Phoenix this year also. But watching couple games Suns playing I picked up games on television. As of now, I wish to go back to those glory days where Phoenix use to fight for wining night after night.
Finally, I saw the same zeal of lost years. On Feb 23rd, after winning last 2 games the coach decided to rest Nash when visting Thunderous Thunder. Thunder riding on 9 winning streak was almost looking to stay afloat on 21 yreas old Kevin Durant's 25+ points for last 20+ games. Without Nash its was very obvious for Thunder to get 10 win's stretch after long time. However, no one realized how stiff rest of the roaster on Suns can be on given night. They have had good reason to prove without Nash and specially veterans likes in Hill, , Richardson and first time starter Dragic. Guess what, the veterans with their new point guard did well in hanging with Thunder until Kevin and his company took over the game with ten points lean with less than 4 minutes. No one really expected Suns smelling the win instead Oklama City's arena was counting on minutes to finish off the game.

Coach Gentry called the timeout at stop clock halted at 3.40 minutes. The game was re-drawn with different strategy. The control was given to the veteran who had more to prove as his game and popularity was sliding down with gravity. Richardson took the to its new heights Suns will cherish for long time. Richardson connected on a floater from the foul line with 0.7 seconds Phoenix snapped the Oklahoma City Thunder's nine-game winning streak with a 104-102 victory on Tuesday night. Refer the chart for what happened in those last 3 minutes.
The most important thing is I came very close in predicting Sun's win by 5 points against all odds. I felt gratified, happy and blessed. Thats how Sports can be so much joy to watch and follow. Go Suns!
