Satterfield at the Buzzer

[MavsFanFinley]

(He's been impressive all through the summer league.)


The Phoenix Suns and the Dallas Mavericks went into Tuesday's game with the same record at 1-2 with both teams winning the first game and dropping the next two.

Phoenix jumped out to a quick 9-0 lead and led 25-16 at the end of the first quarter and were up four at the break. Kenny Satterfield led Dallas in the third quarter with seven points as they tied the game up at 60 heading into the fourth quarter. With the score tied at 82 Paul McPerson missed a layup at the buzzer that would have decided the game for Dallas. In overtime with time running out, Kenny Satterfield hit a 18 foot jump-shot at the buzzer to seal the 92-91 overtime victory for the Mavericks.

Charlie Bell led all scorers with 34 points and grabbed a game high eight rebounds for Phoenix as Jake Tsakalidis scored five of his 15 points in overtime. Dallas was led by Kenny Satterfield with 23 points and Derek Hood added 16.

Phoenix will take Wednesday off and will play the Toronto Raptors on ESPN2 on Thursday, July 26 at 12:00 noon. Up next for Dallas is the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m.

What about Animal Harvey? No double-double tonight?

[MavsFanFinley]

Harvey hasn't done much in this part of the summer league...but he hasn't played much either.

He bruised his shin against Portland, so that may be the reason. Or the coaches are wanting to get a look at guys like Satterfield, McPherson and Hood.

Interesting note, Kyle Hill has only played in one of the games thus far (although Im not sure about tonights game because box score won't be posted until morning.) Not sure if it's because a injury or that because he seriously is stinking it up out there.

I went through most of the Box-Scores and the only "little guy" really delivering on a solid basis is definately Satterfield. He´s outplayed Hill by so much I hardly can believe Hill still has a chance to make the roster. Too bad Satterfield is not able to play both Guard Positions, but I could see him as the third PG backing up Timmy´s knees ...

Kenny sounds like next Mike Finley, no not really, but he's going to be a good addition to the team
