Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!While the game may have been over before it even started, the Spurs did make things interesting in the third quarter with a string of five-straight threes. However, this hot stretch quickly diminished, and the Suns went the full 60 minutes without trailing.
Chris Paul had himself a rare standout shooting night, ending with 22 points on 15 shots. The point god went 4-6 from deep, something that gave the Suns offense a tremendous boost.
