Today, the NBA playoffs continue, and the Phoenix Suns still have to play the New Orleans Pelicans on the road.
This series is considered the most suspenseful set of duels because the Suns are strong, they are the number one team in the regular season this season, and the Pelicans are just the team that barely made it to the playoffs through the playoffs. However, the NBA series can always be full of suspense, the gap in strength between teams is not so large, and there is no small possibility of upsetting in seven best-of-seven games.
The Suns started off well, but their top scorer, Booker, suddenly got injured, strained his hamstring and needed to rest for 2 to 3 weeks. As a result, the strength of the Suns team was seriously affected, and the position was chaotic. The Pelicans saw hope of winning, and the more they played, the better.
In today's game, the Suns still put all the burden on the shoulders of veteran Paul, so the Pelicans saw this and put a lot of defensive pressure on Paul. In the game, Paul scored just four points on 2-of-8 shooting, delivering 11 assists but three turnovers.
It has to be said that the Suns have been greatly affected, their set in the regular season has not worked, the Pelicans' lost draft Alvarado can even complete the steal against Paul, making Paul's mentality unbalanced, there is a more rough foul.
Ingram continued his brilliant scoring performance, like no man's land, scoring 30 points and 5 assists. The Suns were originally the NBA's top defensive powerhouse this season, but now that their defense has failed, the entire team has begun to doubt itself.
Interestingly, the Pelicans' home stadium was originally rented out for concerts because they felt the team would not make it to the third home of the series. But now that the Pelicans are tied 2-2 with the Suns, there will certainly be a third home game.
