 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Steve Nash knew it would be a struggle before he even arrived at the arena to play the Phoenix Suns' seventh game in 10 days. Nash and his teammates dug down and managed to do just enough Saturday night to earn their way into the team record book with a record-tying 14th straight win.
"I didn't feel good tonight at all," Nash said following the Suns' 105-98 victory over the Sacramento Kings. "I could have told you that this afternoon in the hotel. Those are the nights you have to be mentally tough and try to just hang in there and give yourself a chance. We certainly hung in there tonight mentally. It was difficult for us in stretches."
Nash had 16 points and 12 assists to help Phoenix match the franchise record set from Dec. 1-30, 1992, en route to the team's last NBA Finals appearance. The Suns will try to break the mark at home on Tuesday night against Toronto.
