As expected, the Suns made a run in the second quarter and took a two point lead into halftime.
Amare Stoudemire has been pretty spectacular for the Suns. He's the game's leading scorer with 18 points. And that included a nice alley-oop jam off a pretty dish from Steve Nash. Showing his versatility, the big guy also drained a 3-pointer from deep.
It's been an up and down game, but Seattle has proved it can hang with one of the best teams in the league, at least for a half. Phoenix has played its main guys for the most part.
Chris Wilcox leads Seattle with 12 points, and Kurt Thomas has nine points off the bench.
Seattle still holds a 24-18 rebound advantage.
He may be older and a little more laid back, butCarlesimo still is intense when he wants to be. He jumped Wilcox early in the second quarter for something on the offensive end that Wilcox did or did not do. He told a frustrated Wilcox to come sit next to him on the bench and brought in Johan Petro in, who promptly gave up a basket inside to Stoudemire on the other end of the floor, and caused Wally Szczerbiak to lose his dribble on the offensive end.
Wilcox got back in the good graces with Carlesimo by forcing Grant Hill into a travel later in the second quarter.
