Basketball Betting Lines
11/23/2008 -
Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Shaquille O'Neal registered 19 points with a
game-high 17 rebounds as Phoenix topped Portland, 102-92, at US Airways
Center.
Amare Stoudemire had 17 points and nine boards for the Suns, who snapped a
two-game slide and bested Portland for the 11th consecutive time. Steve Nash
added 16 points and dished out seven assists.
Brandon Roy led all players with 26 points for the Blazers, who had won three
of four coming in. Steve Blake contributed 22 points and five assists while
LaMarcus Aldridge picked up 14 points in the loss.
After failing to make up much ground for most of the contest, Portland crept
within 49-47 on a rare four-point play from Blake with 8:58 to play in the
third quarter, then assumed a 56-54 advantage with six minutes remaining on
another Blake three-pointer.
However, two straight from beyond the arc by Raja Bell touched off a 15-3 run
ending on an O'Neal free throw with under three minutes left in the period for
a 69-59 Phoenix advantage. The Suns maintained that 10-point edge heading to
the fourth.
An early burst put the home team up 78-63 after a Stoudemire lay-in, but the
Blazers rebounded with nine in a row to come within four with 7:27 to play.
One final run, this time 12-4, pushed the Suns in front by a comfortable
margin as Bell finished the spurt with a layup. Portland never threatened the
rest of the way.
Thanks to seven points from Stoudemire, the Suns led 21-17 after one, then led
by as much as nine in the second quarter before taking a 41-36 edge at
halftime.
