Friday's game was Amare's first in almost a year for the Suns following a knee reconstruction, and his return performance has NBA media commentators talking of a championship in Phoenix.

Interestingly, Suns guard Steve Nash is shooting 51.2 percent from the field, 42.8 percent from range and 90 percent at the free throw stripe. Only three players in NBA history have achieved averages of more than 50 percent from the field, 40 precent or more from 3-point range and 90 percent from the free throw line in a season and one of them is the South Dragons inaugural coach Mark Price, who achieved the feat in his 88-89 NBA season with the Cavaliers. Larry Bird (1986-87 and 1987-87) and Reggie Miller (1993-94) are the other two.
