SUNS 121 RAPTORS 113...the SUN shall rise "NORTH of the Border"...GERALD GREEN and PHX Hoops smack the RAPTORS on their Dinosaur Field Trip...LOGO WATCH playing "HORNACEK Ball" with "Birmingham BARON" back in ERIC BLEDSOE of #WeRUK Lore and the #BBN #SUNSnation #PHXhoops

The Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors go Shirts & Skins as neither played any "D" and the Suns Dinosaur Field Trip "North of the Border" was a success. The Suns needed a huge game from Gerald Green as he has emerged as the PHX Hoops Go-To-Guy to beat a game Raptors Bunch led by Point God Kyle Lowry.

The Suns leading 37-35 after one and 61-59 at the break just could not pull away from the Dinosaurs as both Teams shot the Orange extremely well from the field and the Stripe. The Suns leading just 96-90 at the end of three got a huge boost in the 4th from Green and the Morris Twins.

Green goes for a team-high 28 points doing most of his damage when it counted in just 26 plus minutes. The Morris Twins combined for 26 points and nineteen boards with Goran Dragic adding 19 and Eric Bledsoe 14. Bledsoe returning from minor Meniscus Surgery went right into the Starting line Up as Green still is the Suns #1 Offensive Play Maker. That 34 for 38 from the Stripe and a + 12 with the Money Ball helped the Suns get out of the Dinosaurs Museum with a "W".

The Raptors led by PG Kyle Lowry and his 28 points and thirteen helpers could not get a lead and stop the Suns from doing what the Suns wanted to do. All five Raptors Starters scored in double figures with Terrence Ross 22 points, Amir Johnson 20 points, Jonas Valanciunas 15 points, and DeMar DeRozan 17 points and seven helpers. Dinosaurs -19 in rebounding and lost the battle at the Arc....welcome to the "L" Column.

Suns move to 38-28 and that is good for the #9 seed in the West behind the Grizz. The Raptors fall to 37-28 and the Bulls are 1/2 game behind them as they lead the Atlantic by 3.5 over Brooklyn.
