Atlanta ? If Amare Stoudemire has his way, the Phoenix Suns won’t rest now that they’ve become the ninth NBA team to win 50 games following a 50-loss season.

“We’ve got seven more road games,” Stoudemire said. “And we’re going to try to close it out and get homecourt advantage.”

Stoudemire had 40 points and 13 rebounds to help the Suns beat the Atlanta Hawks, 105-94, Tuesday night.

With Stoudemire controlling the lane and Steve Nash handing out 11 assists, the Suns improved the league’s best road record to 27-7 with an eighth straight victory outside Phoenix. They have won three of four overall.

“I was attacking the whole night,” said Stoudemire. “I wanted to be aggressive and carry the team on my back.”
