The Phoenix Suns narrowly defeated the Golden State Warriors 108-104 to earn their first win of the season. Warriors coach Steve Kerr commented on Chris Paul's performance in a postgame interview. The reporter asked Cole:
"A few weeks ago you mentioned that Paul is trying to fit into the team, are you happy with his performance?" Cole replied: "Yes, Paul was great on the field. Although his shooting performance is not ideal, there is no problem with his shots, it just does not feel good.
Cole further explained: "Paul handed out nine assists and only one turnover, which fully demonstrated his ability to control the game. Our goal is to reduce mistakes and last season we were the team with the most mistakes. With Paul's help,
We only had 11 turnovers in this game and we need to keep reducing them. Paul deserves praise for his performance in this game. He played a whopping 34 minutes and 13 seconds, and despite not shooting well from the field, he did an excellent job of organization and tandem.
Hopefully, Paul will continue to perform better in the coming races. ”
