Chris Paul Shines As Suns Lock Up Playoff Spot
4 years agoPhoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul had a vintage performance on Wednesday as the team secured a playoff berth with a 109-101 win over the Clippers. He posted 28 points with 10-for-14 shooting and had 10 assists with three rebounds and three steals. This marks Paul's 215th career game with 20-plus points and 10-plus assists, which puts him tied with Isiah Thomas for fifth-most in NBA history. Only Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, LeBron James, and Russell Westbrook have managed more. A marquee matchup against Utah is next on the horizon for Paul and the Suns. The veteran point guard posted 29 points and nine assists in an overtime win against the Jazz when two of the Western Conference top dogs met earlier in the month.
