NEW ORLEANS — Chris Paul has accomplished so many things in his 17 NBA seasons that it's nearly impossible to rank his Mount Rushmore moments.
Paul was 14 for 14 — the most field goals without a miss in an NBA playoff game — in the Phoenix Suns' 115-109, series-ending victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night.
Paul led Phoenix to victories by scoring 19 points in the fourth quarter of Games 1 and 3 after trying to distribute the ball to teammates in the first three quarters. Suns coach Monty Williams said it was difficult to rank Paul's achievements as a scorer, leader and game manager. After Brandon Ingram gave New Orleans its final lead, 104-103, on a reverse baseline layup with 2:00 left, Paul found Booker unguarded on the left wing, and he made the 3-pointer to put Phoenix ahead 106-104 with 1:42 left.
The Suns erased the 10-point halftime deficit by making 13 of their first 14 shots in the third quarter to take a 77-74 lead. At that point, Paul was 10 of 10 from the field and Ayton was 6 of 6. Paul had 13 points in the quarter, but New Orleans used an 11-5 run to take an 85-82 lead into the final period.New Orleans coach Willie Green, one of Paul's closest friends, said he didn't have to be told about how special Paul's 14-of-14 night was.
