Struggling Suns hope to bounce back against Spurs

SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) -- The Phoenix Suns will be looking to snap a three-game slide when they face the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.

The Suns put together improbable back-to-back wins without Steve Nash last week, taking out the Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Lakers as Shaquille O'Neal turned back the clock with a combined 78 points.

But Nash returned in time for the beginning of a four-game road trip and presided over losses at Orlando, Miami and Houston as O'Neal returned to earth, averaging just over 19 points per game.

The Spurs returned from their own three-game road trip on Friday and posted a 100-78 win over the Washington Wizards. Tony Parker led the way with 19 points as most of the starters logged less than 20 minutes.

San Antonio has won two of three meetings this season and has knocked Phoenix out of the playoffs in three of the past four years.
