Suns point guard Steve Nash had a hard time swallowing the team's 126-118 loss to the Kings on Sunday night.

The loss leaves Phoenix 3 1/2 games behind Dallas for the eighth seed in the Western Conference with just eight games left in their regular season.

"I don't know what to say," said Nash. "We just laid an egg. That's very frustrating. I know it's difficult, we're tired, but we have to fight through it."

Compounding the loss was the fact that the Suns lost to a Kings team that hasn't even won 20 games this season.

"No offense to that young team over there, but we weren't playing the Lakers or the Celtics," Nash said.
