The Phoenix Suns got 24 points from Amare Stoudemire en route to a 125-92 beat down of the Atlanta Hawks. Phoenix played arguably their best game of the season, dominating both ends of the floor. The statistics showed this dominance as the Suns set a season-high in field goal percentage (64.2) and a season-low in field goal percentage allowed (33.7), reports the Associated Press. Elsewhere in the Association:

  • Houston beat Golden State 111-107 and has now won five of their last six. Yao Ming was brilliant, scoring 36 points and grabbing 19 rebounds.
  • Kirk Hinrich continued his recent good play by scoring 27 points in Chicago’s 96-85 win over Minnesota. Timberwolves guard Randy Foye scored 11 points in 17 minutes in his season debut.
