For the third time this week, the Phoenix Suns got up on the road by double digits only to see the lead evaporate.
This time the Suns were taken to overtime by the New Orleans Pelicans, who outscored the Suns 34-18 in the fourth quarter after going down 107-93 after three.
The game went to overtime at 125-125 as the Pelicans scored the last 8 points of regulation. Booker missed an open three with 18 seconds left and Brandon Ingram missed a baseline jumper at the buzzer.
The Suns finally began to score again in overtime — why couldn’t they do that a minute ago?
