The Suns should be given credit not only for the previous season, but also for the fact that at the moment the team is the only co-nurent of Golden State in the fight for first place in the Western Conference. Monty Williams’ charges try not to feel sorry for anyone, however, they can’t win all the time either. Phoenix had two amazing fights, because they managed to show their strengths in attack. First, “Charlotte”, which resembled a whipping boy, came under the hot hand. As soon as the “hornets” did not try to turn the tide of events, nothing succeeded (133:99). Devin Booker made a big contribution to the victory and Jalen Smith chalked up a double-double. The Sunshineers went further and the next victim was New Orleans, which is far from optimal shape and here they had to confront one of the leaders. The Pelicans lost in all aspects and Chris Paul and company got another victoria (123:110).
Detroit predictably lost the last fight. After victories over Milwaukee (115:106) and San Antonio (117:116), Duane Casey’s charges slowed down. In the confrontation with Charlotte, the Pistons played excellently in attack, but could not stop the Hornets. As a result, the Pistons were defeated with a score of 111:140. In Detroit’s game, it’s worth noting the offensive line. Recently, the Pistons have significantly improved and are acting in the opponent’s half of the court much better than before.
