Leftovers from the opener … looking ahead

Count Duncan as those impressed with the new-fangled Suns.
“I like what Terry Porter is doing,” he said. “He’s slowed them down a little bit and is using his skill players. Then down at the end there, we saw the old Phoenix Suns using the pick and roll, putting the ball in Steve and Amar’e’s hands…”
Porter said he’d have plenty of technical fouls this season and picked up his first before halftime, arguing a blocking foul called on Nash.
Due to a computer glitch, the official sheet credited the ‘T’ to former Suns assistant Dan D’Antoni – now an assistant with his brother Mike in New York with the Knicks – who scored 120 points in a season-opening win over Miami Wednesday.
The Suns have now won three straight regular season games in San Antonio, just the second time a foe has managed that since it opened in 2002. Dallas also won three straight from 2005-07. No one has won four straight.
Guards Alando Tucker (hamstring) and Sean Singletary were inactive for the Suns …
The Suns will have R&B artist Brian McKnight singing the national anthem at tonight’s home opener with New Orleans. McKnight will also perform at halftime.
