On March 25, Beijing time, the Suns challenged the Nuggets back-to-back, and Chris Paul came back after missing 15 games. Before this game, the Suns were just one win away from locking up the regular season championship, and finally after a fierce battle, the Suns beat the Nuggets 140-130.
Throughout the game, neither team really pulled apart too badly, completely playing the flavor of playoff level. Paul's comeback first game has a limited playing time, Devon Booker completely carried the team on his shoulders, scoring 17 points in the first quarter, scoring 24 points at halftime, and in the third quarter, he was a god blocker who scored 19 points, and 43 points were scored in the third quarter.
In the final tiebreaker, the Suns proved that they were the stronger team, and under the continuous bombardment of Bridges, Paul and Booker, the Suns played a 14-4 climax to establish a crucial eight-point lead. The Nuggets failed to respond and eventually lost at home.
In the whole game, Ayton had 16 points and 7 boards, Bridges was 8 of 9 and 22 points, Paul returned with 17 points and 13 assists, and Devon Booker was 16 of 25 efficient and slashed 49 points and 10 assists, scoring a new season high, which can be said to have played the strongest game of his season!
As a result, the Suns' record reached 60 wins and 14 losses, becoming the first team to win 60 wins this season and officially locking up the regular season championship this season. In addition, the Suns won 60 games in just 74 games, which also set a record for the fastest 60 wins in a single season in the history of the Suns. The Suns' all-time best-of-season record is 62-20, and now they're only three wins away from making history, and it only looks like it's a matter of time. Congratulations again to the sun!
