Suns Get Back on Track in Game 2

Thanks to a dominant finish in Game 2, the Suns' second-round situation went from potentially dire to not-as-bad-as-it-could-have-been.

Phoenix outscored San Antonio by 13 in the fourth quarter and pulled away for an easy 101-81 victory Tuesday, evening the series at one game apiece.

Steve Nash ignited the strong closing effort with seven of his 20 points in the period. He delivered 16 assists, as well, and broke down the Spurs' defense with his usual array of quick moves and court vision. Amare Stoudemire added 27 points and nine rebounds.

Tim Duncan had 29 and 11 for San Antonio, but Tony Parker was held to just 13 points on 5-for-14 shooting and went scoreless in the final frame.

Game 3 is set for Saturday night in San Antonio. Tipoff is at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
