The Suns host the Magic
The Phoenix Suns have another four straight wins and they may have a brief slump, but most of the time, the team is smooth sailing. Chris Paul is like a captain, and as long as he is there, this team will not lose its direction. So far this season, Paul's average assists per game is the highest in the league, and the Suns' average of assists per game is also ranked fifth in the league, and the strength of this team is that they have the strongest points in points like Booker, but when Booker is in the downturn, they will not lack scoring points.
In this game, the Suns will continue to sit at home, and it is the Orlando Magic who come to challenge. The Magic are in a slump, they are in the bottom of the East, and have only won 13 games so far in the season, and you know, the Suns have only lost 10 games. The gap between the two teams is there, and the victory or defeat can be said to have no suspense.
The game is completely one-sided
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Suns showed great strength, Paul had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists on 2-of-3 shooting, Booker had 7 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, Ayton had 8 points and 3 rebounds, under the leadership of the three cores, the Suns bombed 36 points in a single quarter, while the Magic only scored 26 points, and the point difference came directly to 10 points, but this was just the beginning. After returning from the second quarter, although Paul only shot 1 of 5, he delivered 4 assists, the sun blossomed more, the bench scored 13 points, and the whole team still scored 31 points.
The Magic worked hard, and Sargas had seven points, two rebounds and two assists to lead the team to 27 points, but at the end of the half, the Suns still led the Magic by 14 points at 67-53. In the second half, Paul had 5 assists in a single quarter, Booker completely regained his touch, 16 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist on 7-of-13 shooting, and the Suns scored 33 points in a single quarter, and the point difference directly got 22 points. This means that the last quarter becomes garbage time, and Paul Booker and Ayton do not play again.
In this case, the Suns still scored 32 points in the last quarter, that is, in the four quarters of the game, each quarter scored more than 30 points in a single quarter, such a stability, it is really breathtaking. In the end, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Magic by 27 points at home 132-105, successfully winning five consecutive wins and continuing to defend the league's first place.
Another Spurs rose in the West
In such a game, the sun did not show any particular madness in one section, and then a drumbeat made the game lose suspense, but like a boiled frog, unconsciously, let the magic lose hope of winning. It's like the Spurs of the year, they like to win games in this way. It is worth mentioning that the Suns scored in double figures in this game, the highest score was Booker, but only 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, the whole team sent 40 assists, only 7 errors, including Paul 10 points, 5 rebounds and 15 assists.
Seeing this Phoenix Suns is more and more reminiscent of the Spurs of that year. Popovich led the Spurs to five championship trophies, so what kind of honors will Paul and this Phoenix Suns achieve? The Magic lost the game, the power gap was there, Sargas had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, the team's best performer, the whole team also had 6 people to score in double figures, but only 25 assists, and there were 14 turnovers, and the gap with the Suns was obvious.
