Stoudemire shines as Suns hold off WarriorsBasketball Betting Lines03/23/2010 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Amare Stoudemire scored 18 of his 37 points in the final quarter, including seven straight during a crucial run, as Phoenix held on for a 133-131 win over the Golden State Warriors. Jason Richardson added 34 points for the Suns, who tied a season-high by winning their fifth straight game. They are in fifth place in the Western Conference, a game behind Utah. Monta Ellis had 30 points and six assists for the Warriors, who lost for a third straight time and are just 2-10 since the start of this month. Reggie Williams had a career-high 29 points, including 18 in the fourth quarter, and Anthony Tolliver tallied 25 with 12 rebounds in defeat. Williams hit consecutive three-pointers in the final quarter, the last one in the sequence putting the Warriors ahead 122-119 with 3:10 left. Stoudemire, who ended 12-of-15 from the field and 13-of-15 from the foul line, then took over the game. He scored on a thunderous right-handed jam, powering over Tolliver and converted the free throw to tie the game. Stoudemire then hit a driving layup and a jumper from the left baseline for a 126-122 Phoenix lead. Golden State never caught up, but the Warriors had their chances, especially helped by two rare misses at the foul line from Steve Nash, the last one coming with 8.8 seconds left. That gave Golden State hope, down 132-129, but Phoenix fouled Ellis. He sank both shots, the second one off the glass with 4.3 seconds to go. Stoudemire then made just 1-of-2 with 3.5 on the clock, but Ellis missed a potential winning shot from just inside halfcourt as time expired. The Suns held a 33-31 lead after the first quarter and a 65-62 edge at the half. Phoenix was ahead for most of the third quarter, but Ellis' three- pointer pulled the Warriors within 99-98 going to the fourth. Game Notes Earlier in the day, the Warriors signed Williams for the remainder of the season and waived guard Raja Bell. The team also announced they have retained Galatioto Sports Partners to conduct the sale of the team. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said earlier this year that he wanted to buy the team -- which plays in Oracle Arena -- and it now appears that he will have the opportunity...Phoenix ended 13-of-23 from behind the arc...Nash had 12 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds...Phoenix has won six of the last seven meetings.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team. Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team. "I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success." Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate. Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns. But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches. Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips. Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.
