OVERVIEW:
Chris Paul scored 14 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter and added 11 assists and six rebounds, as the Suns used a second-half explosion to blow past the Denver Nuggets 122-105 Monday night at Phoenix Suns Arena to take a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference Semifinals.
After falling behind by 10 points in the third quarter, Phoenix put together a 42-14 run to completely flip the game and send the home crowd into a frenzy.
Mikal Bridges ignited the outburst with his shot-making from 3-point distance and in the lane, before Paul took over with two of his signature pull-ups, an and-1 finish off the glass and a 3-pointer.
