Today the NBA has a total of 5 games to compete.
Paul's first game since his return freed Devin Booker to help him play amazingly on the points, while the Grizzlies' Morant continued to be out of the game, and the excellent performances of Adams and Bain helped the Grizzlies win another victory.
Want to know what wonderful performances the players played in the game? Let's take a look at the NBA Red and Black List.
Special Red List: Paul's comeback activates the Suns' first man in history
Devon Booker (Phoenix Suns): 49 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers, 16-of-25, 2-of-5 three-pointers, 15-of-17 free throws, plus-minus +16 efficiency. That's the highest single-game score a Suns player has scored in a single game since Crawford scored 51 points in 2019.
Without Paul, Booker carried the entire Sun; now that Paul is back, Booker is focused on every chance he takes the ball on the court and ends up scoring 49 points. Sure enough, it was only when Paul was around that Booker became a full body.
Today, Booker has 137 times 30+, 17 times 40+, 3 times 50+, 1 time 60+, 1 time 70+, and the above data are ranked first in the history of the Suns.
Special Red List: Adams played Grizzlies for 15 years without data DeRozan suppressed Lavin's play?
Cavaliers 104-117 Raptors
Siakam (Toronto Raptors): 35 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 turnovers, 12-of-20, 6-of-7 three-pointers, 5-of-5 free throws, plus or minus efficiency +9. Siakam has surpassed DeRozan in a single game with at least 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists for the Raptors with today's game.
Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers): 18 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 turnovers, 7-of-18, 1-of-6 from three-point range, 3-of-3 from the free throw line, -17 plus-minus efficiency. Garland still got a double-double, but lost in the face of Siakam's explosive performance.
Pacers 103-133 Grizzlies
Stephenson (Indiana Pacers): 25 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers, 10-of-15, 5-of-5 three-pointers, plus-minus -3. Finson was a surprise again, but this time he only tied his single-game shooting record, and the Pacers still lost the game.
Bain (Memphis Grizzlies): 30 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block, 1 turnover, 12-of-15, 5-of-7 three-pointers, 1-of-1 free throw, plus or minus efficiency +40. Bain shot six three-pointers in the last game, breaking the record for the most three-point shots in a single season for the Grizzlies, and today Bane continued to shoot five more three-pointers. In the last 10 games, Bain has shot at least 50% from three-point range in 7 of them, which is very scary.
Adams (Memphis Grizzlies): 6 points, 17 rebounds, 9 frontcourt rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks, 0 turnovers, 3-of-7, plus or minus efficiency value +25. Don't look at Adams today's score is not even double digits, but his 17 rebounds, 9 frontcourt rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, all made a remarkable contribution to the team's win. The last time a Grizzlies player was able to get similar numbers in a game was back in 2007 by Paul Gasol.
Wizards 102-114 Bucks
Ju Holliday (Milwaukee Bucks): 24 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal, 6 turnovers, 10-of-18, 3-of-6 three-pointers, 1-of-1 free throw, plus-minus +15 efficiency. The Bucks won so easily today that everyone's statistics are not too good, and Holliday is already a more eye-catching Bucks player.
Bull 109-126 Pelican
LaVine (Chicago Bulls): 39 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 5 turnovers, 12-of-23, 4-of-11 three-pointers, 11-of-13 free throws, plus-minus -1 efficiency. In DeRozan's absence, LaVine liberated his scoring ability and scored 39 points. In DeRozan's absence this season, LaVine averaged 30 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, shooting 40.9% from three-point range, and in these 5 games, the Bulls won 2 and lost 3.
Graham (New Orleans Pelicans): 30 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 0 turnovers, 8-of-12, 5-of-7 three-pointers, 9-of-9 from the free throw line, +28 plus-minus efficiency. See, when Graham and McCollum play at the same time, the Pelicans can still beat a strong team like the Bulls.
Suns 140-130 Nuggets
Chris Paul (Phoenix Suns): 17 points, 4 rebounds, 13 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 3 turnovers, 6-of-10, 1-of-3 three-pointers, 4-of-4 free throws, plus-minus -5 efficiency. Paul played at this level in his first game since his return, and more importantly, he also fully activated Booker's scoring ability.
It was Paul's 32nd double-double of the season and deserved the reputation of the point guard god.
Hyland (Denver Nuggets): 23 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 0 turnovers, 7-of-13, 4-of-8 from three-point range, 5-of-9 from the free throw line, plus-minus -1 efficiency. Of the 12 games in March, Hyland scored double-digit points in 11 of those games.
