Phoenix made some believers today with a big win over Philadelphia. "I know all the headlines are going to say 'Phoenix upset Philadelphia', but we knew going in that we could play with these guys. It's no upset in my book," said Phoenix coach Bob. "We've had some trouble early on, but the team's finally getting it together. Just look at Hunt - he was unstoppable." Today's win certainly helps get their message out, but Phoenix still have some work ahead of them. Phoenix was led by Hunt (12 points, 16 boards, 0 assists, 3 blocks), Mercer (9 points, 3 steals, a block), Celaya (19 points, a steal). Philadelphia was led by Ferguson (11 points, 7 boards, 1 assists), Norman (14 points), Wilson (8 points).
