Winners of the Los Angeles Clippers (106-89), the Phoenix Suns now have the best record in the NBA ahead of the Golden State Warriors, beaten in New Orleans (101-96) without Stephen Curry. Even against one of the worst performing teams in the NBA, Golden State, deprived of its two masters to play, Stephen Curry, slightly affected in the right quadriceps the day before in Dallas, and Draymond Green, injured in a hip, finished by falling. In New Orleans, the Warriors remained in contact until the end, until a Gary Clark counter to Jordan Poole in the money time, but they ended up losing (101-96) to the Pelicans of the All Star winger Brandon Ingram (32 points) after a festival of three-pointers missed (26 for each of the two teams).
This second loss in two days has a direct consequence: the Warriors, who have long had the best record in the league, are no longer leaders of the Western Conference. They give way to the Phoenix Suns, who got their third straight victory at home shortly after the L.A. Clippers (106-89), with a triple double from Chris Paul (14 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists).
