Postgame video after the Suns win over the Warriors.
The Warriors got down by 20, made a decent comeback attempt, but there was never any flow to the game. Links, postgame videos.
Monta Ellis is Golden State's alpha dog, and Grant Hill is one of the few in the league who knows how to frustrate him. Ellis averages 24.8 points per game this season, but against Grant Hill and the Suns he only scored 8 points tonight. In fact, Hill has been Ellis' nemesis all season.
Just a week and a half from being thisclose to the playoffs, and on an upward trajectory with 20 games to go, the Suns find themselves mired in the muck of reality.
