New Orleans Pelicans (45-30) – Phoenix Suns (44-31) 111:124 (BOXSCORE)

The Wild West in the NBA remains wild and at least on this night it has found its sheriff in Devin Booker. The guard almost single-handedly took the Suns on his shoulders, scoring 52 points (19/28 FG) and handing out nine assists. Jusuf Nurkic was also busy with 19 points and 19 rebounds, Kevin Durant ended up with 20 points (7/19 FG).

After the first two quarters, Booker had 37 points, was extremely dangerous offensively and couldn’t be stopped by any of the Pels. However, the Suns also needed their stars, especially from the bench there wasn’t much coming from the bench with nine points.

For the Pelicans, Zion Williamson in particular resisted the defeat; the big man scored 30 efficient points (10/20 FG). New Orleans appears to be increasingly emerging as Booker’s favorite opponent, with it being the third 50-point game against the Pels in a row. With the win, Phoenix is ​​only one game behind New Orleans and could therefore avoid the play-in in the West.
