PHOENIX – As Chris Paul brought the ball up the court with about three minutes to play, a fan about two-thirds of the way up Section 105 of the Footprint Center hollered, “Ball game!”
He was right. Paul drained one of his vintage pull-up jumpers, which all but sealed the Phoenix Suns’ 114-104 victory over the 76ers Sunday night.
The loss to the NBA’s best team will shift the Sixers’ positioning in a jam-packed top of the Eastern Conference. They entered the day tied with the Miami Heat for first place, and a half-game ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics.
