The Phoenix Suns earned their 15th straight win with a 115-98 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night.
Amare Stoudemire had 28 points and 10 rebounds in 28 minutes to lead the charge for the Suns.
Stoudemire went 11-for-14 from the field in one of his most impressive outings since he returned after practically missing the entire season last year following microfracture knee surgery.
Canadian Steve Nash added 10 points and 15 assists in three quarters while Shawn Marion had 17 points and Leandro Barbosa had 14.
Phoenix’s 15-game streak is the longest in the NBA since the Los Angeles Lakers won 19 in a row from Feb. 4 to March 13, 2000.
T.J. Ford scored 19 points for Toronto before leaving in the fourth quarter with a bruised lower back and top draft pick Andrea Bargnani had another strong outing with 18 points.
