RE: Why zone worked for a while vs PHO
Didn't Bradley play the entire third quarter? Didn't Stoudamire play almost the entire third quarter, too? Didn't the Mavs make an enormous run in that third quarter? Didn't the Mavs shut Amare down to only one made field goal in that quarter? Those facts kind of shoot your theory to shit, don't they? The zone crippled Amare and the Suns in the third. It was only until late in the fourth, after Bradley had been playing for almost 20 minutes straight, did the Suns start looking halfway effective against the zone.
