Suns guard Goran Dragic scored a career-high 18 points against the Spurs on Tuesday night.

Dragic went 7-for-9 from the field, including 4-for-5 from three-point range.

"Steve [Nash] and Amare [Stoudemire] did what they do. They played well. Dragic kind of shocked us a little bit," San Antonio's Tim Duncan said after Phoenix won 116-104.

Dragic admitted after the game that he has been working with a Serbian coach to improve his shot.

"My coach from Serbia has been in town for the last four days, and we worked a lot on my shot," Dragic said. "Before when I shot, my arch was not so high. Today it felt great. The arch was higher."
