Fahrenheit 140: Suns burn bright behind Barbosa's career nightBasketball Betting Lines02/20/2009 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Leandro Barbosa scored a career-high 41 points and the Phoenix Suns, despite being without All-Star forward Amare Stoudemire for at least the next two months, pulled off a rare offensive feat with a 140-118 blowout of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Stoudemire underwent successful eye surgery on Friday to repair a partially detached retina and he's expected to be out for about eight weeks. But that didn't stop the Suns from scoring at least 140 points for a third straight game, the first time that's happened in the league since the Portland Trail Blazers pulled off the feat, November 13-17, 1990. Phoenix's run also includes two wins over the Los Angeles Clippers, 140-100 on Tuesday and 142-119 the following night. The latest road to 140 wasn't secured until Barbosa hit a jump shot with 20.7 seconds remaining. Jason Richardson had 34 points for the Suns, who beat the Thunder franchise for the eighth straight time. The win also allowed interim head man Alvin Gentry to become just the second coach in Suns history to begin his tenure 3-0 joining Scott Skiles, who began his career in Phoenix a franchise-record 4-0. Shaquille O'Neal ended with 22 points and nine boards as the Suns equaled a season-high with their third straight win. Steve Nash contributed 13 points and eight assists. It's not likely the Suns will score at least 140 in four straight games since they host the Boston Celtics on Sunday afternoon. Kevin Durant had 35 points and eight rebounds to pace the Thunder, who have lost four in a row and seven of nine.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee. "I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
