Talk about a redemption game for Amare Stoudamire, as he just did it big tonight. But credit to Alvin Gentry, who used the zone effectively in the game.

But obviously, you can only be effective in the zone if your opponent misses.

Most importantly, with Stoudamire and Robin Lopez, they controlled the paint. But benches were dreadful in this game, so it makes Game 4 even more intriguing.
