nba, nba team The old saying, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer,” makes a lot of sense for following a rival NBA team. I have been a Phoenix Suns fan now for about five seasons. Over the years, they have looked like championship contenders but a roadblock always seems to get in their way. That roadblock usually has something to do with the Spurs or Lakers. This year the Suns were the first NBA team to win 10 games. Until last night, they were the top of the Pacific Standings then the Lakers beat the Knicks 100-90 as seen in the recap video below. It was the Kobe show again after he ended the night with 30 points.



This is the first time the Lakers have felt what it’s like to have the top seat or at least share it with the Suns this season. This is important because it gives LA their first taste of leading the Pacific and the Suns motivation to take another one down. Next up on the NBA schedule for the Lakers is the 5-8 Golden State squad. This shouldn’t be much of a problem so the Suns need to take down the 5-9 Grizzlies today.
