UNDATED (AP) _ The last time the Phoenix Suns lost a game? Last year. December 28th to be exact.

Today in Cleveland, Phoenix pushed its franchise-record winning streak to 17 with a 115-to-100 victory. It's the N-B-A's longest winning streak in seven years.

Steve Nash had 23 points and 15 assists and Shawn Marion added 23 points and eight rebounds as the Suns matched a franchise record with their ninth straight road win.

The Suns are 34-and-4 since opening the season 1-and-5. They're also 20-and-1 against Eastern conference teams.

LeBron James returned after missing Friday's game with a sore right toe and led the Cavaliers with 30 points and nine rebounds.

The San Antonio Spurs have begun an eight-game road trip against the Los Angeles Lakers this afternoon. A rodeo takes over the A-T-and-T center in San Antonio next month and the Spurs won't return to the Alamo City until February 20th. The Lakers are without forward Luke Walton, who will miss at least a week with a sprained ankle.

Boston hopes to snap a ten-game losing streak when it hosts Gilbert Arenas and the Washington Wizards tonight.

Looking at other games on the slate, Indiana takes a three-game winning streak into Detroit, New York runs at Milwaukee and the Seattle Sonics host the Clippers.
