Phoenix Opponents Willing To Trade Nash Assists For Points

[Sun Tzu]

When Steve Nash has 11 assists or more, the Suns are 9-0, and Jason Richardson has scored at least 16 points in the eight of those games he played. If Nash has 10 assists or fewer, the Suns are 6-7.

 

"I could go out there and score 20 or 30 points against a switching defense but that's not necessarily as good for us as if I scored in the teens and had assists in the teens, where everyone is involved and our rhythm is good and we're putting the defense in a bind constantly," Nash said. "I'd much rather the game be played that way."
