They held the best record in the West at 5-1.Only to fall flat in Phoenix, routed by the Steve Nash-led Suns 102-77.Fatigue obviously figured into the performance, something that Suns coach Alvin Gentry expects to be commonplace around the league this season in a 66-game, compacted schedule.Do I think that we are 25 points better than they are? Gentry said. No. But I think that given the opportunity to take advantage of something like this you better do it, and especially at home.Nash made all seven shots, two of them three-pointers, and handed out nine assists, then sat out the fourth quarter. Jared Dudley scored 18 and Nash 17 for the Suns. Marcin Gortat added 12.They did get in late but we cant go out there and feel sorry for them, Nash said.

Hes also obviously finding his shot, and so are his teammates.We made some shots but we also had better rhythm, Nash said. The tempo of the game suited us more. We had a little more of a flow to it. That allowed us to find comfort and we made more shots probably as a result but also because we were due to make shots.LaMarcus Aldridge had 14 points for the Trail Blazers, who finished shooting 33 per cent after making 28 per cent in the first half.

Warricks fast-break dunk on a lob from Nash capped a 10-2 spurt that put Phoenix ahead 26-14 with four minutes left in the first quarter.The Blazers never got closer than 11 in the second quarter and the Suns built their biggest lead of the half at 49-32 when Nash made a free throw following a technical foul against Crawford with 21 seconds left. Phoenix led 49-34 at the break, easily the lowest-scoring half for Portland and the lowest for a Suns opponent in the young season.A pair of free throws by Raymond Felton cut the lead to 51-39 early in the third quarter, but the Suns scored the next 12 to blow open a 63-39 advantage when Nash found Gortat for a layup with 5:18 left in the period. Nash also had a three-pointer and 17-footer in the run.Crawford was just 1-of-9 shooting in the first half as Portland shot 12-of-43.
