NEW YORK (AP) -- The Phoenix Suns took nearly 40 years to win 15 straight games. They needed only a month to do it again.

Hot To The Touch

The Suns are the first team in NBA history to have two separate win streaks of at least 14 games before the All-Star break. Only two other teams had multiple 13-game win streaks before the break: 
   1st streak  2nd streak  Season result 
2006-07 Suns  15  15   
1995-96 Bulls  13  18  NBA champs* 
1991-92 Bulls  14  13  NBA champs 
*Won NBA-record 72 games
-- Source: Elias Sports Bureau, Inc. 

Amare Stoudemire scored 26 of his 30 points in Phoenix's big second half and the Suns beat the New York Knicks 112-107 on Wednesday night for their second 15-game winning streak of the season.

Barely a month after establishing the longest winning streak in franchise history, the Suns equaled it by turning things around after a sluggish first half in the second night of a back-to-back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Against Washington they poured in 75 points in the first HALF.  If the Suns are "fools gold", then I'm a fucking moron... what a great team.  If they keep it up I don't see how you could deny Nash the MVP.

Yeah man, but I highly doubt any team will sign him.  It's a shame, I really liked Scottie when he was with the Bulls.

The dunk contest was fantastic.

My favourite team was always the Indiana Pacers. I used to see all Indiana matches, in the times of Reggie Miller, Derrick McKey, Sam ''smooooooooooth'' Perkins, Austin Croshere and Jermaine O'neal.

But now my heart is with the San Antonio Spurs, because Im argentine and the spurs have 2 argentine players right now: Emanuel ''Manu'' Ginobili and Fabricio Oberto.

I still remember the John Paxson 3point shot against Phoenix in the 1993 finals, 6th game at the American West Arena

Yes, Tim Hardaway is a loser...

All-Star weekend was pretty good... I would love to be out there partying in Vegas with all of the players out on the town.  NBA definetaly does the best job of having an all-star event (NHL, a wednesday night game with no football on the weekend, WTF?).  I missed the skills day, I really wanted to watch the 3 point shootout.

Anyways, this was probably the highlight of the weekend...... Shaq VS Lebron in a dance contest:

^loved shaq's dancing, he will probably forever be my favourite player


ok, wayne newton is a big entertainer in LV but he was among the worst halftime eintertainers and opener

even though centers aren't what they once were I sure hope that D Howard can fill shaq's shoes a lil' bit

The All-Star Game itself has become rather lame.  Sloppy play, no defense...I didn't even watch it until the end just to see the score. 

At least Kobe won the MVP.
