What was viewed as a walk in the park for the top-seeded Suns is now a dead-even competition as Phoenix visits the Pelicans in Game 3 on Friday night. Booker is ...
He is in his third season in New Orleans after playing three with the Lakers. Regardless, the Pelicans now have a legitimate chance to win the series. Holiday hasn't played in the series. "Throughout this year I had confidence that we would be here," Ingram said. He had five points in 12 minutes of Game 2. Shamet just returned from a foot injury and didn't play in Game 1. "I watch guys like B.I. and CJ and sometimes it's like they're playing a different sport. Booker grimaced and grabbed the back of his right leg. He injured his right hamstring while chasing New Orleans' Jaxson Hayes in transition as the latter scored on a dunk. Booker's night was done with the Suns trailing by three. We'll go to their place, and we'll do what we do." "I'll whine and feel bad about (Game 2), but we're 1-1.
Booker, who led the Suns in scoring this season at 26.8 points per game, will be a very difficult piece to replace in the interim. Phoenix went 8-6 in games ...
“Guys’ intentions are always in the right place,” Paul said. “We get to go to their place and do what we do,” Williams said. Perhaps the biggest challenge presented for the Suns is the savviness of Pelicans coach Willie Green, who previously worked on Phoenix’s staff. “You just got to play the game, just know tendencies and be aggressive, but he’s tough,” Suns starting forward Mikal Bridges said of Ingram. “He can go right past you, he’s long. If they go with Shamet — a pesky defender — they could have a valid option for defending All-Star guard CJ McCollum, who shot below 40 percent in each of the first two games but still combined for 48 points. You just got to play the game, be aggressive. They’ve been outscored 71-48 in that period during the series, which has negated impressive first-half performances. “It’s part of the game, you know what I mean?” Paul said after the Suns’ Game 2 loss on Tuesday. “We got guys that are more than capable of stepping up. You just got to fight and play hard.” It was an out-of-character effort overall for the Suns, who ranked ninth in the NBA by allowing 107.4 points per game this season. Phoenix went 8-6 in games without Booker during the regular season, and backup guard Landry Shamet and backup forward Cameron Johnson are not perceived to be legitimate scoring threats at all three levels. In Booker’s absence, starting point guard Chris Paul will have to shoulder a greater load offensively.
