By all accounts the first NBA game played outdoors in the modern era was a big success. The Phoenix suns and the Denver nuggets played under a cool and clear desert sky Saturday night in front of a sell out crowd of over 16 thousand spectators in the Indian wells tennis garden. Organizers said if it worked out they'd like to make the game a regular event. I'll let those who played and watched the game give their thoughts on the NBA experiment.

if you missed the game on television or you weren't watching from the tennis garden we're going to show you how it all went down at Indian wells, nuggets versus suns at the first-ever outdoor basketball game in the U.S. a brisk evening I think fans would agree, but a clear desert night, and it was nearly a packed house, start early, nuggets on the move, grant hill swipes the ball loose, takes it the other direction for the layup, Phoenix trails by one bit later, Steve nash left alone at the top of the key drops the three-ball, and the suns take a four-point lead in the first quarter, for Denver, no melo, no a-I, but dante Jones found the rack here to make it a one-point game, more nash, how's this, spinning through the lane with a finger roll, he played most of the game, shaq fouled out early in the fourth quarter, the first annual basketball game at Indian wells an overall success from the looks of things, yet the suns lost the game 77-72.
