The gist of last night’s game in Arizona between Suns and Pelicans lies in the number of triples made: 19 for the hosts against 3 (one from Melli) for the guests. Between the end of the first quarter and the start of the second, Phoenix inflicted a 37-11 on Stan Van Gundy’s men under the guidance of Chris Paul (9 points, 9 assists) to return to the locker room at +22 (66 -44). If we then add the 18 turnovers for New Orleans, that’s it.
Phoenix – New Orleans 111-86. Boxscore: 21 Crowder, 18 Johnson, 13p+12r Ayton, 13 Paige e Bridges, 10 Saric per i Suns (3-1); 20 Williamson, 13 Ingram, 11 Adams, 5p+8r+1as Melli per i Pelicans (2-2).
