The shorthanded Phoenix Suns took care of the even shorter-handed New Orleans Pelicans, 125-108, Friday night in the second of back-to-back games between the teams before a sellout crowd of 17,071 at PHX Arena.
Bol Bol scored his season-high 25 points to lead the Phoenix Suns (28-32) in their 125-108 blowout home win over the New Orleans Pelicans (16-44) on Friday. The Suns' victory snapped their three-game skid.
The third quarter was largely dictated by Bol and Nick Richards - the starting center scored 6 points while playing stout defense throughout his time on the court. Phoenix carried a 92-70 lead into the final 12 minutes of action - an advantage that allowed for some time to rest Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.
The Phoenix Suns (28-32) host the Minnesota Timberwolves (32-29) on Sunday, airing on Arizona's Family (Ch. 3 TV) and ESPN at 7:30 p.m. This is the Suns' third game of their four-game homestand and third meeting in the four-game series against the Timberwolves.
The Phoenix Suns are looking to block out the "noise" heading into Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at PHX Arena. “It's so much noise that's going to be around us,” Suns superstar Kevin Durant said.
Devin Booker and Bradley Beal combined for 61 points but the Phoenix Suns were dominated by the Toronto Raptors in a wire-to-wire 127-109 loss. Booker and Beal’s output was pretty much all Phoenix got.
