Phoenix made 40 of 74 field goals and 10 of 23 threes to end a 3-game losing streak, "When they double him, he still gets around, reverses his dribble. I think he's at the point in his career when he's seen every possible defense. When they do something, he adjusts," Suns head coach Jeff Hornacek told NBA.com while discussing the brilliance of his playmaker. The Pelicans kept the game close and led by three in the fourth quarter before the Suns unleashed a 17-1 spurt to ice the victory. The Suns improved to 34-24 in the Western Conference standings.
