Who Got It Done
Player Spotlight- Chris Paul
Chris Paul absolutely perfect from the floor, and we are not talking 3/3 or 4/4; Paul nailed all 14 of his field goal attempts and all four of his free throws, which was good for 33 points to help Phoenix defeat a very game and competitive New Orleans Pelicans 115-109 to advance to the second round, where they will meet up with the Dallas Mavericks. The 14/14 marks the most consecutive field goals made in a playoff game since this particular metric began to be tracked back in 1997.
