Phoenix could not match the passion of a team facing elimination and ended the season at 61-21, one off the Suns' 1993 and 2005 finishes. 就像火箭為了主場優勢而奮戰，快艇全隊上下都將士用命。太陽對於勝利的渴望比不上面臨淘汰邊緣的快艇隊，最終以61勝21敗，勝場數略少於'93和'05年球季一場的成績結束了例行賽季。 "That was training camp," Suns guard Steve Nash told the crowd. "Training camp is over. We're getting ready for the real season." "那是個訓練營，"太陽後衛S.Nash向大家說。"訓練營結束了，我們已經做好準備，迎接真正的球季到來。" That was the verbal shrug for a night the starters could have taken off and sort of did, anyway. Phoenix's first five did not have a locked-in shooter in the bunch. They shot 35 percent, only to be bailed out by Leandro Barbosa and Boris Diaw going 17 for 29 combined. 那對於這個先發球員可以直接坐在場邊休息或至少可以減少上場時間的夜晚來說只能稱得上是句場面話，因為太陽的先發五人根本沒帶瞄準器上場。他們投籃命中率只有35%，只有替補上場的小巴和屌爺挺身而出，合計出手29次命中17球。 Back at his locker later, Nash did not let go of Phoenix's third losing streak since the 1-5 start as easily as he did on the mike. 二月下旬傷癒歸隊後，Nash從未讓太陽嚐到甫開季還在狀況外的1勝5敗以來的第三度長連敗。 "It is disappointing," Nash said. "I certainly don't like getting our butts kicked the last two games of the season." "這令人失望，"Nash說。"我根本就不希望在例行賽季最後兩場比賽吞下二連敗。" The playoff momentum that had been building was not lost in Houston, when the offense was brilliant and the defense was fine until it came time to rebound. Tuesday was not so fulfilling, and it was evident early, when Phoenix missed eight of its first nine shots. 為了即將到來的季後賽已經被建立起來的氣勢並沒有因為在休士頓輸球而消失，因為太陽的進攻依然華麗，防守也一樣出色，只是在籃板方面吃了點虧。但星期二的比賽大家表現就沒那麼好了，從球賽一開始就可以看出一些端倪，太陽的前九次出手落空八次。 "I went into the game and felt like it was a preseason game," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "I am sure the other guys felt that way, too. You just can't help it when you don't have anything to play for." "開賽後我還誤以為這是一場季前熱身賽，"M.D'Antoni教練說。"我確定其他人也都有這樣的感覺。在沒有任何努力目標下打成這樣是無法避免的事。" The Suns still managed to make another meaningless loss interesting, keeping its main players on the floor again to try to rally. Phoenix could not pull within a shot of tying, failing to get a stop in the final three minutes. 太陽仍設法讓另一場無意義的敗仗變得有趣，讓他們的主力球員再一次上場嘗試扭轉劣勢。太陽一直沒辦法投進追平的那一球，而且在最後三分鐘內擋不住快艇的攻勢。 With the Clippers leading 99-97, it looked like the Suns would get that chance when Corey Maggette missed, but Tim Thomas tapped the rebound to Jason Hart with nine seconds to go, and he made free throws to help secure the victory. It was the last of 24 second-chance points for the Clippers, a night after Houston had 30 vs. Phoenix. 在快艇以99比97領先時，看起來太陽在C.Maggette跳投失手後將得到追平比分的機會，但T.T在比賽時間剩下9秒時將籃板拍給了J.Hart，而他被犯規後穩穩地將球罰進確保了快艇的勝利。這是快艇24次第二次進攻中的最後一次，前一晚在休士頓火箭也擁有了多達 30次的第二次進攻機會。 The Clippers hit 14 of 16 free throws in the fourth. Phoenix normally gives up 18 points a game at the free-throw line. 通常太陽一場比賽只會在罰球線上丟掉18分，但快艇光是在第四節罰16中14。 "We just couldn't get it done," Phoenix's Raja Bell said. "Maybe there was a lack of urgency." "我們最終還是沒能達成目標，"太陽的辣椒標說。"或許是因為缺乏獲勝的迫切需要吧。" Nash and Shawn Marion were 0 for 7 on three-pointers, but Bell made 4 of 10 to tie Gilbert Arenas for the most threes made this season (205). But Diaw offered the most promise, with 17 points and six assists. Nash和Matrix在三分線外投7中0，但Bell投10中4，追平了Agent Zero，以205球並列為三分球投中數最多的球員。屌爺最守信用，拿出了17分、6助攻的好表現。 Twice, Diaw took Elton Brand on drives to give the Suns a 74-71 lead entering the fourth. The loss ended Phoenix's streak of seven home wins. 屌爺兩度單打E.Brand成功，上籃得手讓太陽在帶著74比71的小幅領先進入第四節。這場敗仗同時也結束了太陽在主場的七連勝。 "It was must-win game for us, and we pulled it out," said Thomas, whose team must win again tonight and hope for a Golden State loss. "這對我們來說是場非贏不可的比賽，而我們也確實拿下了勝利，"所屬球隊今晚必須再次贏球並盼望金州勇士輸球的T.T說。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.241.111.125
