QUOTE TO NOTE: "It's early in the season, so we will see how defenses start to play me. I told you guys early that I had to be aggressive and establish myself. I think a lot of teams weren't going to play me as a shooter I thought I was, but now I'm kind of establishing that. I just need to continue working on my game and stay humble." -- C Channing Frye, who hit six 3-pointers to tie a career high for the second straight game and led the Suns with 25 points.
