The Suns and Kings played all the way to overtime, and in the final minute, the Kings' Jones made up for the deduction and successfully reversed the score. At this time, Booker has been punished by six criminals, there are no more people left in the starting lineup, and the king is in the cold.
But looking back, the sun's brilliant tactics created a three-point gap for Shamet, who took the knife and fell back again. This time the Kings didn't survive again, and the Suns won their 58th win of the season.
The original Suns' starter was only Bridges alone, and he played 50 minutes today, with 27 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.
The Suns have once again proved that they are not a team that has always been driven purely by stars, but by relying on the overall system to drive the team to win. Ayton was not on top of McKee and Billy Beaubeau, and it was Shamet who was sent off.
Playing so far, the Suns are the first team in the league to reach a 50-win team, and will certainly reach 60 wins in the next few games. Aside from injuries, they have no obvious shortcomings and are even more balanced than last season, which is where they are terrible.
On Feb. 17, when Chris Paul was injured in a game against the Rockets, no one was expected to take it seriously. But then Paul was diagnosed with a torn fracture of the thumb of his right hand, and although he hit the All-Star with an injury, the regular season was definitely reimbursed for the season.
Before the injury, Paul averaged 14.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 10.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game, his shooting percentage was 48.7%, the true shooting rate was 57.9%, and the average assist per game was still the first in the league, and even the average steal per game could rank second in the league.
Losing such an MVP-level player will have a huge impact on the Suns. Fans think the Suns' first place in the West may be shaken, but who wants the Suns to remain as stable as Tarzan?
The Suns are currently in first place in the West with 58 wins and 14 losses, nine wins ahead of second-place Grizzlies. In the end, there is no suspense in getting the first place in the West. Before Paul was injured, the Suns were 48-10, with a winning percentage of 82.8%.
After Paul was injured, the Suns lost 10-4, with a winning percentage of 71.4%, the second highest in the league in the same period. After Paul's injury, Booker averaged 28.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 7 assists per game, shooting 53/41/93% from three fields.
Paul wasn't in the core that led to the sun's lack of organization? Everyone can be the core of that organization, and the Suns' shift ball not only hasn't stopped, but the average number of assists per game has not decreased but has risen.
Before Paul was injured, the Suns averaged 27.0 assists per game this season, fifth in the league, and in games without Paul, they averaged 28.5 assists per game.
I can't say it's the suns and Paul's most promising year, but at least the suns prove that they are still the top team in the league without Paul. They can beat any team and their goal is only that trophy.
