Phoenix Sunsi polako shvaćaju koliko je teško igrati bez Chrisa Paula. U nedjelju navečer izgubili su od Utah Jazza, Bojan Bogdanović je u pobjedi 118-114 upisao 11 koševa (5/13) a Donovan Mitchell s 26 koševa (6/11 za tri) je bio najefikasniji na strani pobjednika dok je Rudy Gobert imao 14 skokova. Za Sunse koji su bez Chrisa Paula na 1-2 Devin Booker je zabio 30, Cam Johnson i Deandre Ayton po 23.

Lakersi nikako ne mogu naći izlaz iz krize, pogotovo otkako je Anthony Davis ozlijeđen. S druge strane, New Orleans nakon nedavnih promjena u rosteru izgleda odlično, a to su pokazali i protiv Lakersa. U pobjedi 123-95 CJ McCollum je zabio 22, Brandon Ingram i Jonas Valanciunas (10 skokova) po 19. Kod Lakersa LeBron James 32, Russell Westbrook 16, Carmelo Anthony 13.

CJ McCollum last 6 games:

36/11/5
23/4/5
30/6/7
38/2/5
32/6/4
22/5/8

He’s shooting 57% and 49% on 7.2 three-point attempts in that span. pic.twitter.com/BKM9bmxTT0
