PHOENIX (AP) - Amare Stoudemire bounced back from one of his worst games of the season to score 33 points and grab 21 rebounds and lead the Phoenix Suns to a 118-100 victory over a Sacramento team playing without Ron Artest on Thursday night.
Steve Nash had 17 points and 16 assists to help Phoenix hand the Kings their eighth loss in nine games.
With Artest absent, Phoenix dominated the game inside with a 58-33 rebound advantage that offset the Suns' 5-for-22 3-point shooting. Phoenix was 1-for-16 on 3s until Jalen Rose made three of them in the fourth quarter.
