On April 18, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and in the Suns' home game against the Pelicans, the Suns played a very wonderful game, and in the first half of the game, they completely suppressed the opponent with defense, leading the opponent by nearly 20 points. In the third quarter of the following game, although the Pelicans had a tendency to chase points, and even narrowed the point difference to only 6 points at one point, Paul stood up at the critical moment and completed a wave of efficient offense, scoring 19 points in a single quarter, helping the team lock up the victory!
According to US media statistics, so far this season, when the Suns maintained their lead after the end of the third quarter, the Suns' record was 48 wins and 0 losses, with a winning percentage of 100%! The previous record was 47 wins and 0 losses, and this game still continues this record!
Paul scored 30 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block in this game, and is undoubtedly the best player in this game! Booker also had a steady play throughout the game, scoring 25 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds, Ayton 21 points and 9 rebounds, and Bridges and Johnson also scored double digits!
It can be said that the Suns really showed a very stable ability in this game, and their offensive state in the third quarter of the game was very stable, with a minimum score of 25 points and a maximum of 31 points in the first quarter. The opponent is the lowest quarter 16 points, the highest quarter 37 points, which can see the gap between the two teams, in the playoff game, although the outbreak is very much needed, but the outbreak is only short-lived, only to maintain stability can have the opportunity to compete for the championship!
This season's Suns are really the team with the best chance of competing for the title in the league, and we expect them to play well in the playoffs and make up for the regrets left over from last season!
