With a 105-94 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, the Phoenix Suns became just the ninth team in NBA history to follow a 50 loss season with a 50 win season.

The win was very similar to the Suns' previous 49 this season, double-doubles from their big 3. Amare Stoudemire had 40 points and 13 rebounds, Steve Nash had 13 points and 10 assists and Shawn Marion had 21 points and 11 rebounds.

``We're right there offensively,'' Nash said. ``Defensively, we're starting to show signs that we can be good. It's just the defense. We've got to keep improving little by little going into the playoffs. If we're a solid defensive team like we were earlier in the year, we've got a great chance.''

The Hawks played the Suns surprisingly close, trailing by just two points heading into the 4th quarter.

Josh Smith had 14 points and 12 rebouns and Al Harrington had 16 points and 8 rebounds.
