110. Pre-All-Star Weekend Part 2

Nash was also looking forward to this game, hoping to provide some live instruction, but it was not to be. His back injury needed to be managed carefully, so he couldn't push it. He might only have to make a brief appearance during the upcoming All-Star weekend.

Aside from that, Nash was full of worry for tonight's game.

Last season, the Suns had a 62-20 record. Nash played in 75 games, leading to a 60-15 record. In other words, last season when Nash was absent, the Suns only had a 2-5 record.

This season, with Stoudemire out, Nash's importance to the Suns had become even greater. So far, the Suns had played 51 games with a 33-18 record. Nash played in 47 of them, leading to 33 wins and 14 losses. In the 4 games without Nash, the Suns were completely defeated!

Nash's worries soon became a reality.

The Bobcats came out strong in the first quarter and after playing through it, the score was 31-18...
