The West-leading Oklahoma City Thunder have been rolling along to the tune of a 13-game home winning streak. 13 games is a long streak. The Phoenix Suns have to bank on the law of averages. No one goes undefeated. Every team throws up a stinker once in a while. Let's hope that stinker happens to occur tonight, on the part of OKC.
Otherwise, the Suns are fighting a major uphill battle. Oklahoma City is the best team in the Western Conference, running on all cylinders. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden dominate the game.
How can the Suns win? If Marcin Gortat outplays Kendrick Perkins, Robin Lopez outplays Nick Collison, Steve Nash outplays Russell Westbrook, and Grant Hill holds Kevin Durant below his averages, then... maybe the Suns can withstand the other guys who will step up in their places. Oy.

This is a very good Thunder team playing at home. Tough game.
The Suns have to play hard and focused for all 48 minutes.
Go Suns!
