Ahead of tonight’s matchup between the Pelicans and Suns, Stan Van Gundy talked about the ability of the Suns to execute well to pregame media, giving the nod to Monty Williams and their starting backcourt.
Slowing down Chris Paul (12.7 points, 9.7 assists) and Devin Booker (22.7 points, 2.0 threes) will be the priority for the Pelicans. Based on the team’s first three games, the effort should be there from Lonzo Ball and Eric Bledsoe, plus Steven Adams can be counted on to give help, but can the New Orleans starting backcourt keep pace offensively with Phoenix’s dynamic duo?
