Chris Paul instituted curfew in New Orleans during series
Brian Windhorst: ‘This may be normal. I don’t want to say this is anything special, but from what I hear Chris Paul instituted a curfew in New Orleans during the series. He’s like, ‘we’re gonna have a room for cards and we’re gonna have a room to watch the games and have our guys have dinner but be back…’ I don’t know what the curfew was at the time. But ‘gentleman you’re gonna be back here in this hotel at X time’. Not from the coaching staff: Chris Paul.’

Jason Kidd on CP3: “He knows how to move the pieces to get that advantage. So when you talk about IQ, it’s off the charts. And then his competitiveness is off the charts, his will is off the charts. All of the things are off the charts. You just got to make it tough on him.” – 4:18 PM

Chris Paul’s last three closeout wins:
2021 vs. Nuggets: 37 points on 14-of-19 shooting.
2021 vs. Clippers: 41 points on 16-of-24 shooting.
2022 vs. Pelicans: 33 points on 14-of-14 shooting.
That’s an average of 37 points on 77.2% shooting.

Chris Paul just had the greatest shooting night in NBA history. First player to ever hit and take 14 shots in a playoff game. It’s just 9th time ever a player has taken at least 14 shots and hit them all. Only 2 others also hit all their FTs — none more than CP3’s 4 FTAs tonight. – 10:09 PM

And the Suns have the lead. Crowd is upset over the last couple offensive foul calls, and CP3 is making the Pels pay for those calls. He’s got 23 points on 10-of-10 shooting – 9:04 PM

Chris Paul is 10-10 from the field after that middy and the Suns grab a 70-69 lead. Unbelievable. – 9:04 PM

Not having Alvarado in for Hayes here is just killer. CP is going after either CJ with 4 fouls or Hayes and getting wherever he wants. – 9:03 PM

Suns tried to check Chris Paul back in with about 2:30 left in the half but there wasn’t a stoppage.
A little extra rest for CP, who played just 15 mins in the half and is 4/4 FG. – 8:36 PM

Pelicans have been able to rattle the Suns a little bit in these minutes with no Chris Paul and Devin Booker. Booker at 13 minutes. Wonder if they’ll up that in the second half. – 8:29 PM

JaVale McGee collapses to the floor, Jonas Valanciunas picks up his 3rd personal foul.
There’s no doubt that the entire Suns roster graduated with honors from the CP3 school of flops. – 8:07 PM

Really fun start. CP3 is playing downhill early and it is helping set up a lot. DA looks great again.
Booker playing with that old man game for now. Using his body a lot off the dribble. No explosive movements. Wise to do so IMO. – 7:47 PM
