Edited sentence: Although Stoudemire and Diaw returned for the Suns in Game 6, the Spurs were able to close them out despite a 20-7 Suns run in the fourth quarter and advanced to the Western Conference finals.An additional fact that disgruntled many over the suspensions was the lack of suspensions against Bruce Bowen and Tim Duncan.Duncan then jumped off the bench and walked onto the court with Bowen following him to get him back on the bench.During the third quarter, Bruce Bowen apparently kneed Nash in the groin.Earlier in Game 4, Bruce Bowen and Tim Duncan left the bench when teammate Francisco Elson dunked early in the third quarter and hung on the rim, only to have the Suns James Jones inadvertently undercut him as he headed up court.Elson fell to the floor.It is very well known that the NBA does not enforce many rules including traveling violations, fouls that might put a superstar into foul trouble, and defensive three second violations.Many argue that if Stoudemire and Diaw were suspended for leaving the bench, then the same rule should have applied to Bowen and Duncan.Many fans around the league questioned the fairness of the suspensions and were confused about why the league chose so adamantly to enforce this particular rule while it ignores so many other rules
