Steve Nash Leads Suns Past Warriors Steve Nash is slowly playing his way into shape. Nash scored 13 of his game-high 21 points in the fourth quarter and the rookie Markieff Morris added 16 points, helping the Suns beat the Golden State Warriors, 102-91, on Monday. "It's going to be tough," Nash said. I haven't played basketball in a long, long time and then to have only two weeks of camp. It's going to take some time. Jared Dudley had 15 points for the Suns, who have not lost to Golden State at home since March 8, 2005, a 13-game stretch. Monta Ellis had 18 points for the Warriors, who lost their first road game after opening the season with four in a row at home. "You shoot 50 percent on the road, you should come out ahead with a win," Warriors Coach Mark Jackson said. You put teams on the foul line, turn the basketball over and give up 16 offensive rebounds, it's a recipe for disaster. "I understand this is a process, but this is a 66-game season and we need to speed up the process," he said. " Golden State was without David Lee, its second-leading scorer and top rebounder, a late scratch after being hospitalized with an undetermined illness. JAZZ PLAYER FINED Utah Jazz swingman Josh Howard was fined $25,000 for a flagrant foul in Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Howard was initially called for a flagrant foul one against James Anderson in Utah's 104-89 loss, but the league upgraded the call.
