--The Suns have lost five straight road games -- the last four to Cleveland, the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas and Denver. After starting the season by winning eight of their first 11 road games, the Suns are 8-8 after playing 16 of their first 24 games of the season away from home. --The Suns had been perfect (11-0) in games where they had led by at least 10 points before they blew a 17-point third-quarter lead to the Nuggets. --The home team has won the last 10 games in the Suns-Nuggets series, and come-from-behind wins are common. The Suns rallied from 18 points down in 2007 and 22 points down in 2008 to win before the Nuggets rallied from 17 points down on Saturday.
--After scoring at least 100 points each of their first 17 games, the Suns have failed to reach triple digits in four of the last seven games -- all of them losses.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I thought it was just a good defense play by Nene. I didn't think it was a foul. But, again, I haven't studied the video. Nash has a way of leaning and Nene has a really good way of staying big but not fouling. My feeling is that Nene stayed big but didn't foul." -- Denver coach George Karl, analyzing Steve Nash's game-tying layup attempt with seven seconds left -- a play in which Nash thought he was fouled.
