Basketball is a game of little things, and to win games you must do the little things. Game 5 was an excellent example of the Phoenix Suns not doing the little things. It cost them a game and possibly a trip to the NBA Finals. The Suns missed a box out opportunity in the final seconds that cost them Game 5. We will never know what would have happened if the Suns had boxed out Ron Artest and the game had gone to overtime. It might have been their best opportunity to beat the Lakers on the road. Sometimes lessons are learned the hard way and the Suns may have learned a real tough lesson on Thursday night.
