On March 24, Beijing time, when the Suns locked the Pacific Championship in advance the day before, now the Suns have narrowly defeated the Timberwolves with the help of a reversal, and they continue to lead the league, and they are only one step away from locking in the regular season championship in advance. Booker scored 28 points and 7 assists in the game, successfully beating Towns with 15 points and 11 rebounds in the same game.
It is worth mentioning that Booker and Downs set a milestone record:
First, Booker and Towns reached the 11,000-point milestone in this game, and Towns became the second person in Garnett's team history and the first player in the class of 2015 to achieve 11,000 points.
Second, Booker became the second player in the class of 2015 to reach the 11,000-point milestone.
Third, Booker reached the 11,000-point milestone at 25 years and 145 days, the fourth youngest in history, behind James, Durant and Kobe Bryant.
Fourth, Booker scored 11,005 points and Towns scored 11,008 points, leaving a negligible gap between the two.
In a battle of gunpowder conflicts, the Suns were unable to welcome Paul back, and they started a crazy counterattack mode after falling behind by a maximum of 15 points. The Suns were suppressed in two consecutive quarters in the first half, 13 points behind the opponents in the first two quarters, but the Suns continued to threaten in the last two quarters, especially in the final quarter, gradually suppressing the opponent and successfully completing the counterattack to win.
Paul was originally reported to face the Timberwolves early return, but ultimately failed to return, in the case of Booker's poor performance in the first half, he continued to play a combination of attack and pass in the second half, leading the Suns to frantically counterattack to suppress the Timberwolves. As for Ayton's interior showdown with Towns, he also played a very high-quality double-double performance.
In addition to the book and Ayton duo, role players such as Bridges, Payne and Shamet also performed well, helping the Suns to successfully reverse and defeat the Timberwolves.
After winning, the Suns improved to 59-14 and the Grizzlies 50-23, with the Suns continuing to lead the Grizzlies by nine wins. With nine games left, the Suns and Grizzlies are currently 1-1, so the Suns haven't locked in the regular season title early, and they're one step away from locking up the regular season title early.
