Monta Ellis had never beaten the Phoenix Suns in Phoenix before tonight's game. It sure seemed as if he was determined to do something about it with his fourth quarter performance.
With Stephen Curry and Ekpe Udoh both hurting themselves earlier and Golden State blowing a decent lead in the second half, Ellis was determined to finish this one right. Ellis drew excellent Suns defender Grant Hill, who was determined to not let Ellis drive past him and to the basket.
So Ellis had to do something slightly more insane. How about a stop, spin turnaround jumper off the wrong foot?
Check out the video of the play after the jump.

Yeah, it's going to be pretty hard for anyone to defend that. Tip your cap to Ellis for having the skill to do that.
