Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Amare Stoudemire posted 26 points and seven rebounds, and the Phoenix Suns handed the Los Angeles Clippers their 11th straight loss in a 109-103 decision. Brian Cushing Jersey. Grant Hill and Jason Richardson each added 21 points, and Shaquille ONeal logged 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Suns, who have won five of six. Steve Nash handed out 12 assists to go with 14 points for the victors. "Every team that plays us played over their heads," ONeal said. "Down the stretch we played good defense and made some key stops." The Clippers opened a six-game homestand on the wrong foot, as Al Thornton finished with a team-high 23 points and eight rebounds in yet another setback. Marcus Camby recorded 18 points and 18 boards, while Mardy Collins and Eric Gordon chipped in 14 and 13 points, respectively. "We competed the full 48 minutes, but we made mistakes," Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy said. "We had eight charges; I didnt agree with all of them, which got me ejected. During the last couple of minutes, offensively we had wide-open shots. We didnt make them." LA was behind by 13 to begin the fourth before a furious rally brought a little hope to the home crowd. The Clippers scored 16 of the first 19 points of the quarter, as Steve Novaks second three-pointer of the flurry tied the game, 89-89, with just over eight minutes remaining. It went back-and-forth for the remainder of the game, as Thorntons bucket gave LA a 98-95 lead with 4 1/2 minutes to play. The Suns buckled down on defense and kept the Clippers from making a field goal until a meaningless three at the buzzer. Nash broke a 100-100 tie with a jumper, and after a Camby miss, ONeal converted a three-point play at the two-minute mark for a five-point lead. The visitors then sunk four straight free throws, and Gordons errant three- point tries in consecutive possessions sealed LAs fate. It appeared to be another lopsided affair in the Staples Center after Phoenix scored the games first 12 points. But LA slowly chipped away, trailing 31-25 after the first and remaining six points down, 59-53, at the intermission. A 15-3 run finished off by a Nash trey late in the third quarter aided the Suns 86-73 lead heading to the final stanza.
