NBA Finals Game 4: Suns Snatch the Spotlight in Jersey!
Phoenix Suns 116, New Jersey Nets 106
Marion and Stoudemire Serve Looks, Nets Left Gagged!
OH, HONEY, PHOENIX IS POPPIN’ OFF! The
Phoenix Suns strutted into the Meadowlands and
stole Game 4 of the 2007-08 NBA Finals, slayin’ the
New Jersey Nets 116-106 with a performance that was
extra and
iconic! With the series now knotted at 2-2, the Suns, led by
Shawn Marion’s fierce finesse and
Vince Carter’s
zesty 28-point effort for the Nets, turned this Finals into a full-on
runway showdown! Y’all, we’re livin’ for this drama—let’s spill all the tea!

The Game in a Flash
The Nets came out
servin’ early, droppin’ 36 first-quarter points behind
Vince Carter’s
sickening 28 points (10-18 FG, 3-3 3P, 12 reb), lookin’ like he’s still posterizin’ fools in his Raptors days! But the Suns? Oh, they flipped the script with a
34-23 fourth-quarter
slay, leavin’ Jersey stunned!
Shawn Marion was givin’
main character energy with
21 points (9-19 FG, 1-2 3P, 9 reb), while
Amar’e Stoudemire brought the
boom with
20 points (9-17 FG) and some serious attitude in the paint.
Leandro Barbosa was out here
sparklin’ off the bench, droppin’
18 points (6-13 FG, 6-6 FT) with that quick-step swagger, and
Steve Nash kept it
cute with
17 points and
8 assists, slicin’ through the Nets’ D like a hot knife through butter.
Ben Wallace (14 reb, 2 blk) and
Brian Skinner (12 pts, 8 reb) owned the glass, helpin’ Phoenix edge out Jersey
53-57 in rebounds. The Suns shot a
fierce 49.5% FG, while their
73.3% FT kept the Nets at bay.
Werk it!
The Nets fought back with
Stephen Jackson’s
saucy 26 points (11-18 FG, 3-7 3P) and
Kurt Thomas’s gritty
17 points (7-8 FT), but their
41.2% FG and
13 turnovers—including
5 from
Jason Kidd—had ‘em slippin’. Kidd still dished
9 assists, but his 3-14 FG showed Phoenix’s D was givin’ him
life!
Darrell Armstrong (10 pts) tried to spark the bench, but the Suns were too
fab to handle. Nets, you better
fix it for Game 5!
Key Moment
Tied at 83 in the fourth, Barbosa
snapped with a lightning-fast drive and dish to Stoudemire for a
thunderous dunk that had the Nets shook! Then Nash drained a
cheeky three, kickin’ off a 10-2 run that sealed the deal. The Suns were
eatin’, and the Meadowlands crowd?
Gagged!
Stat That Sealed It
Turnovers: Nets 13, Suns 11. Phoenix’s cleaner play—plus
9 steals, led by
Raja Bell’s 4—turned Jersey’s mistakes into fast-break buckets, givin’ the Suns the edge in this
slay-off. Bow down, darlin’!
What’s Next?
The Suns are
feelin’ their oats, stealin’ home-court advantage back in this 2-3-2 Finals format! With Game 5 still in Jersey, the Nets are ready to
clap back with Carter and Jackson’s firepower. This series is a
whole mood, and we’re here for it, sippin’ our iced latte and ready for more!

Will the Nets bring that Jersey
juice, or will Phoenix keep shinin’ with their desert
glow? Game 5’s gonna be a
serve—and we’re seated!
Player of the Game: Vince Carter (28 pts, 12 reb, 6 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk)
