Nba results – Phoenix-Brooklyn 121-111

Booker in attack makes the good and the bad times, Paul embroiders the kiss and the production of Bridges (27) becomes fundamental, Phoenix has fun and has fun and continues his march without obstacles.

The match

–

Good news in the pre-match for coach Williams who finds Ayton, out in the last seven races. On the other hand he also recovers James Harden, after having skipped the challenge with the Warriors. It is not a good time for the defense of the Nets and the first quarter accentuates the problems of Steve Nash’s troop. Too many comfortable shots from the perimeter granted by Irving and his teammates, the Suns thank them and immediately engage the fourth. Booker goes to the wedding and with disarming ease finds the retina with his first six shots from the field. The Nets find a way to stay in the wake with Irving and Harden’s plays, but in Phoenix everything is all too easy on an offensive level so the hosts close a near-perfect first quarter with 39 points on the board, after shooting with the 71% from the field. Meanwhile, Booker already has 14 points on the scoresheet.

The comeback

–

Things are better for the visiting team in the second quarter. Phoenix begins to litter his percentages from the field and with the production of Griffin and flashes of Harden Brooklyn approaches. With the return on the parquet of CP3 the Suns accelerate and close the fraction in crescendo, reaching the rest ahead of seven lengths, 65-58. The Nets returning to the field with the right attitude and the plays of an Irving at times unstoppable approach Phoenix. Mills’ triple then brings the visiting team back forward but the usual Booker and an excellent Bridges take care of putting the match back on the tracks preferred by the Suns. Phoenix raises the level of concentration and with a partial of 19-6 pushes back the New York team. Irving is not there and in one way or another brings Brooklyn back into the game but once again as soon as Phoenix feels the breath of his opponents on his neck he starts running again.

The key

–

Nine consecutive points for the hosts send the match to the icebox, Phoenix returns to a comfortable +14 and with Ayton’s dunk at 3’14 ” from the siren thus starts the end credits on the match. If Phoenix smiles, however, the problems continue for the Nets that in Arizona collect their fifth consecutive defeat and come dangerously close to the “play-in game” zone. “Even tonight the experience of Chris Paul proved to be fundamental – underlines at the end of the challenge with Brooklyn the Phoenix coach Monty Williams – in the most complicated moments of the match the leadership of CP3 made the difference”.
