Amare Stoudemire and the Phoenix Suns were confused by their own lack of confidence and aggression against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs snapped the Suns 10 game home winning streak with a fourth quarter 17-1 run.
The Cavaliers bounced back from a bad loss in Dallas by whipping the Sun in Phonix 109-91
Preview: Suns vs Cavs. Do the Suns stay home on the Cavs shooters and risk LeBron dropping 40 or do they bring help and hope the rest of the Cavs are tried and not shooting the ball well.
Suns youngsters Earl Clark and Goran Dragic are headed in opposite directions. Dragic continues to improve and grow in confidence while Clark is struggling to learn two positions and is growing more tentative each time he steps on the court.
