Suns visit Blazers for pivotal Game 3Basketball Betting Lines04/22/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The scene shifts to the Pacific Northwest Thursday night as the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers hook up for the pivotal Game 3 of their Western Conference quarterfinals set. The Suns deadlocked the series on Tuesday in Phoenix when Steve Nash recorded 13 points and 16 assists to lead the Suns in a 119-90 rout of Portland in Game 2. Jason Richardson added a game-high 29 points on 11-of-16 shooting for the Suns, who were the lone home team to lose Game 1 of their opening round series. Grant Hill poured in 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds, while Amare Stoudemire had 18 points and seven boards in the convincing win. Phoenix, which recorded only four fastbreak points in Game 1, got 17 out of their high-powered offense in this contest. In addition, the Suns cut their turnovers from 12 to only seven. "We ran off (defensive) stops," said Phoenix head coach Alvin Gentry. "(Portland) didn't shoot the ball well. It's a lot easier to run off stops. Our defense was better, and when our defense is better, we're able to run a lot better because we're in the open floor." Phoenix remains without the services of starting center Robin Lopez, who is sidelined with a back injury. The 7-footer hasn't played since March 26 but has begun light workouts and will be re-evaluated next week. He is not scheduled to play in this series. Martell Webster led a weak Portland offensive attack in Game 2 with 16 points off the bench, as the Blazers failed to build on their 105-100 win in Game 1. Andre Miller, who tied a playoff career-high with 31 points on Sunday, had only 12 in Tuesday's loss. "(Phoenix) got to their tempo," said Portland head coach Nate McMillan. "We knew that they would come out aggressive. You can expect that after losing a game. You can talk about a sense of urgency that they would come out with, and we needed to match that. We never did." Marcus Camby, who was signed to a two-year extension before the game, had six points and 10 boards in the loss. Already reeling from the loss of All-Star guard Brandon Roy for the series with a torn meniscus in his right, Portland held its collective breath when forward Nicolas Batum left the game in the second half with a right shoulder strain. An MRI Wednesday confirmed the diagnosis and Batum is questionable for tonight's contest. The Blazers, of course, are already without centers Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla, who were lost earlier in the season to knee injuries. Game 4 of the set is scheduled for Saturday in Portland.
