Get 'er Done. The Phoenix Suns Charge Through the Los Angeles Clippers, 108-99

Taking care of business. The Phoenix Suns (35-33) did what they were supposed to do this afternoon in L.A., they beat the Clippers (27-44) and now look forward to a showdown with L.A. Lakers on Tuesday. We are now 2 games behind Memphis for the final 8th seed in the West.
This season the Suns hadn't fared particularly well in their mid-day games going only 2-2 in those situations before today. But today the Suns played hard physical basketball for a full 48 minutes and coupled the effort with smart defense and efficient offense.
Steve Nash finished with 23 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds (3 shy of his 4th career triple-double) while the combination of Channing Frye and Hakim Warrick defensively held Rookie of the Year shoe-in Blake Griffin to 17 points on 6-18 shooting and only 2 rebounds and 3 assists. That's no feat to roll your eyes at - just yesterday Griffin posted 30 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists whereas today he was constantly frustrated and ultimately fouled out halfway through the 4th quarter on a controversial charge call as he viciously dunked over Marcin Gortat.
