Dominic McGuire, SF 6-9 FG | 2-2 FT | 9 REB | 2 AST | 14 PTS | -7 Dominic started in the place of David Lee and played very well. He brought consistent energy on defense and on the boards while most of his teammates got caught looking at Suns players go for offensive rebounds. He also did a fantastic job of moving without the ball to make himself available for catches at the basket. |

Dorell Wright, SF 0-4 FG | 0-0 FT | 4 REB | 4 AST | 0 PTS | 0 Dorell was mostly invisible in this game. He missed open 3-pointers that he usually makes but did not even bother to try to get closer to the rim to take easier shots to get his confidence going. |

Andris Biedrins, C 2-4 FG | 0-2 FT | 2 REB | 2 AST | 4 PTS | +8 Andris remains foul-prone but still managed to be a presence defensively in the lane. The Suns had a hard time scoring over his outstretched arms; but in the same breath they had no difficulty whatsoever snatching rebounds away from him. |

Monta Ellis, SG 6-16 FG | 5-5 FT | 5 REB | 11 AST | 18 PTS | -1 Monta Ellis did a good job of scoring the ball and feeding his teammates when doubled-teamed. His shooting numbers were unimpressive but he was often asked to bail the team out late in the shot clock. |

Stephen Curry, PG 4-8 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 2 AST | 10 PTS | -3 Steph had a forgettable afternoon as he battled foul trouble throughout the game. He committed fouls on the ball as well as off the ball, which resulted in a mere 23 minutes of playing time. Nash took advantage of the Davidson player in the fourth quarter, knowing that Curry would let him drive by to avoid fouling out. |
