The Spurs have taken total control of their series against the Phoenix Suns by winning Game 3 by a final score of 102-92. They now lead 3-0 and it will take a Boston Red Sox comeback for the Suns to advance to the Finals.
"We haven't found a way to stop them yet," said Phoenix's Steve Nash, whose streak of four straight games with 25 points and 10 assists came crashing down with 20 and three. He also committed six turnovers.
"There was a stretch there in the second quarter when we couldn't make any plays, couldn't get any momentum and we put our heads down. That made it impossible for us to come back in the second half."
Tim Duncan led San Antonio with 33 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks.
