The New Orleans Pelicans (3 - 11) defeated the Phoenix Suns (7 - 6) 122 - 116 on Sunday. This was an extremley high - scoring game and it was simply fun to watch, Both teams had well over 100 possessions in the game and the pace was at a ridiculously high level. There were also a ton of three - pointers taken, as both teams attempted a combined 66 threes. The biggest difference in the game was the shooting, as the Pelicans shot 46 percent while the Suns shot just 39 percent from the field. The Suns played good enough to win in this game, but they simply didn’t shoot well enough to keep up with the Pelicans. Their defense was lacking as well, as they allowed twice as many paint points as they scored (44 - 22). Eric Bledsoe put in another all - around great performance though, as he tallied 29 points, seven rebounds and six assists in the defeat. He did miss the majority of the third quarter for an unknown injury, but he was able to return for the final 12 minutes. An interesting development is that of Tyson Chandler’s playing time, as he saw just 16 minutes in the defeat. His minutes have been slowly dissipating as of late and it's mainly due to the fact that the Suns prefer to play small - ball. It will be interesting to see how this Chandler experiment will work in Phoenix. The Suns will have to play again on Monday in the second half of a back - to - back, as they'll have to travel to San Antonio to take on the Spurs. The Pelicans appear to be finally putting it all together and it's likely as simple as health. Anthony Davis played a full complement of minutes here and had a fantastic game. Davis totaled 32 points, 19 rebounds, four blocks and two steals in the victory. The bench also continued its recent success, as Ish Smith and Ryan Anderson put in some fine performances. In fact, Anderson had 29 points and that's his fourth consecutive 20 - point game, which is a fantastic sign considering he had just seven 20 - point outings all of last season. Smith flirted with a triple - double, as he collected 17 points, nine rebounds and eight assists off the bench. This is a very talented team and they are still feared no matter how bad their record looks. The Pelicans have now won two - straight and they'll look to add to that winning streak on Wednesday in a rematch with these Suns.
