Steve Blake credited his recent success to "playing free" under Mike D'Antoni. Blake has looked like a natural fit under D'Antoni since returning from his groin injury earlier in the season, and he'll be especially important with Steve Nash banged up right now. "Steve's going to be ready," Kobe Bryant said. Blake played 32 minutes in Saturday's win, scoring 15 points on five three-pointers.
