The Phoenix Suns avoided a four-game sweep at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs with a dominant win in Game Four of the best-of-seven series on Sunday afternoon.
Raja Bell posted 27 points and Boris Diaw tallied 20 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists for the Suns, who went 9-for-20 from behind the three-point line and turned the ball over just nine times.
Tony Parker had 19 points and Tim Duncan added 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who made just 38% of their field goal attempts and managed just thirteen first-quarter points.
Amare Stoudemire struggled with just 7 points and 7 rebounds, but Shaquille O'Neal helped pick up the slack with 14 points and 13 boards in the huge win.
Game Five will be Tuesday night in San Antonio as the Suns look to remain alive with another win in an elimination game.
Stoudemire picked up a technical foul late in the second half and O'Neal and Bruce Bowen were assessed double-technicals just before halftime.
