Led by guard Devin Booker, the Suns take another step towards equaling the record of 17 straight wins achieved by the Phoenix quintet in the 2006-07 season.
During his visit to Madison Square Garden, Booker greased the guns and finished scoring 32 points, with a rebound, a block and three assists, while Chris Paul signed a double-double of 14 points and 10 assists.
Kemba Walker stood out for those defeated with 17 cards, three rebounds and two assists, which were insufficient to prevent his team’s seventh loss in a row against Phoenix, since they were beaten twice in the 2017-2018 campaign.
Those of Phoenix walked through the “Garden” at will, dominating each period with scores of 33-27, 24-17, 31-27 and 30-26 to certify their 16th success with just three setbacks of the season.
The victory for others, allows the Suns to place in second place in the Western Conference of the fight, behind the Golden State Warriors (17-2), which also came out successful 118-103 over Portland’s Trail Blazers.
As usual, the Warriors were led on the attack by their “sniper” Stephen Curry, who made 32 points, seized seven balls under the boards and gave eight passes to the basket.
This Saturday the actions will continue and the program highlights the Chicago Bulls-Miami Heat duels, second and third in the Eastern Conference, as well as the leader of the latter, the Brooklyn Nets and the Phoenix Suns.
