Steve Nash became a trivia answer tonight, but he won?t care because his three point shot at the buzzer fell short, as did Phoenix?s chances at winning the series, losing to San Antonio 111-108.

Nash and Amare Stoudemire once again led the way for Phoenix, but it was not enough to close out the game against the Spurs, who got three 20 point games from their three main stars. Phoenix was unable to close the game out when they had the lead coming into the fourth quarter.

Stoudemire scored 37 points and eight rebounds, but had a costly technical foul called against him late in the game. Stoudemire shoved Spurs' forward Robert Horry to the ground after a foul call causing Horry to react with a minor flopp, enough to get the call against Stoudemire. He also committed a team-high five turnovers, as did Nash.

Nash became the first player in NBA history to score at least 25 points and collect 10 assists in four consecutive playoff games, finishing with 29 points, 15 assists and five rebounds. Quentin Richardson had his best game of the playoffs, scoring 18 points on 7 of 13 shooting. Shawn Marion recovered slightly from Game 1, getting his ninth double-double of the playoffs with 11 points and 12 rebounds. He also recorded two of Phoenix?s 9 blocks. Steven Hunter came off the bench to score seven points, grab four rebounds, two offensive, and block 3 shots. Jim Jackson scored just six points, grabbed three rebounds and blocked a team-high 4 shots. But it wasn?t enough to stop the power that is San Antonio.
