Game Day: Suns (12-8) @ Pelicans (4-18), Thurs 12/5/24

Post by Superbone »

Time: 6:00 pm AZ (5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET)
Place: Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, LA
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBALP

The Suns roll into the Big Easy looking for an easy win. But we know how that goes. Better not take them lightly. The Pelicans have lost 9 straight and are at the bottom of the Western Conference. New Orleans has dealt with a lot of injuries, most notably, Zion, but they are getting healthier. Guards Dejounte Murray and CJ McCollum started the last three games together which hadn't happened since opening night.

Herb Jones and Brandon Ingram are both back for this game.

Of course they get healthy as soon as they play us. Smh

Sucks about Dunn, would've been a real good matchup for Ingram and their other wings. But maybe they're just being cautious because it's the Pels.

Suns up by 11 at the half, could be up by much more if they'd taken better care of the rock.
New Orleans not shooting well, but taking advantage of Phoenix turnovers to hang close.
Booker with 15 (went cold in the second quarter) and Beal with 14.
Allen with eight assists.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Frustrated by double teams and forcing shots.
He has numerous friends and family in the Big Easy -- usually plays very well.
Tonight, he's having his troubles.

When the 12 point halftime lead was down to 3 right away my thought was "not another one of these"
