O'Neal was perfect on his first four shots from the field and his first four free throws. That kept the Suns within striking distance as Memphis led by nine in the first half. The Suns had the bulk to overpower Memphis inside with O'Neal and Stoudemire. Memphis was limited because Darko Milicic was out with a broken right hand, and in the first quarter rookie Darrell Arthur took an elbow to the face, sending him to the bench for the night with a concussion. Memphis even used Hamed Haddadi, the 7-foot-2 rookie from Iran who saw his first action of the season. The Suns' inside dominance was evident with a 36-16 advantage in the paint in the first half, including 16 points from O'Neal. Phoenix ended the night with a 58-18 edge in the paint. But the Suns' size advantage was offset somewhat in the second when Stoudemire was ejected with two technicals. Stoudemire disagreed with the call that gave him his third foul. He expressed his displeasure
