The Phoenix Suns improved to 5-3 in exhibition play after a 102-93 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are 1-5.  Both teams will finish up their preseason games in the next couple of days.  The Thunder were seriously shorthanded in this game, with four of their main players on the injured list.  The Suns, however, will miss Amare Stoudemire, who dislocated his finger after scoring 17 points during last night’s game.  Stoudemire missed the first 5 games of the preseason with an eye problem and will miss several games.  Steve Nash returned during this game to score 15 points after a sprained left ankle kept him out of the last three games.  Shaq O’Neal, who has joined the Suns this year, may not play much on back-to-back nights this season, in order to keep him healthy.  For the Suns, the season begins on Wednesday in a great southwestern showdown against the San Antonio Spurs.
