On January 25, Beijing time, the Suns encountered a stubborn resistance from the remnant Jazz, and Paul did not perform well in the first half to equalize the second highest of his career, but Paul ushered in a big outbreak in the last quarter to lead the Suns to win. Paul contributed a quasi-triple-double of 27+9+14, especially in the last quarter, which continued to explode with 15 points, and led the team to win the Jazz with key offensive performance, and the 7 mistakes that sent the most of the season became flaws.
Faced with the lack of two cores of Mitchell and Gobert, and the snow hid the main forces such as Ingles and O'Neal, the Suns encountered a stubborn resistance from their opponents. Paul had a poor start in the first half, missing two consecutive shots in the opening game before Paul hit three goals in a row and scored eight points on 3-of-6 shooting in the first half.
Paul has delivered nine assists in the first two quarters, accounting for more than half of the team's 17 assists, but he has rarely delivered five turnovers in the first half, and has already tied the highest single game record of the season. Paul also tied the second-highest career record for halftime turnovers, after the six turnovers he made in the first half when he played against the Hornets (now the Pelicans) against the Warriors on January 28, 2010.
Paul did not immediately recover in the second half, he scored 4 points on 2-of-4 in the third quarter, and even contributed a double-double of 12 points and 11 assists in the first three quarters, but has already delivered 6 turnovers, setting a new record for her highest single-game turnover of the season.
Fortunately, the long-lost "St. Paul" in the last quarter came again, and Paul not only continued to use the pass to activate his teammates to score, he also had about 9 and a half points left, gradually opening the personal offensive mode. Paul quickly scored five consecutive points with a mid-range shot and three-pointers, and also assisted in stopping the Jazz than Yongbo. Paul then continued to work with Billyon Bo to complete the dry three-point shooting around the cover, and Paul continued to score with a continuous attack and pass, helping the Suns to surpass 11 points with more than 3 minutes left, while Paul had already surpassed his own first three quarters in the last quarter and only scored 12 points.
Even if Clarkson led the Jazz to continue to chase points, but Paul also led the Suns to block the opponent's counterattack, with Paul's inexplicable performance in the last quarter, the Suns successfully counterattacked the Jazz to win, continuing to lead the league, and Paul also continued to rank first in the assist list, showing his 36-year-old sword immortal style, naturally it is expected that Paul will lead the team to impact the first crown of his career.
