Phoenix Suns Eye Victory Over New Orleans Pelicans in Footprint Center Clash

As the Phoenix Suns prepare to host the New Orleans Pelicans at the Footprint Center, fans can anticipate an electrifying encounter. The Suns have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings, with a record that reflects their inconsistency. However, they are coming off a strong showing against the Pelicans just days ago where they secured a 124-111 victory.

In that game, Phoenix demonstrated offensive prowess by leading for over 46 minutes and achieving an impressive 49 percent field goal percentage. Their three-point shooting was also notable at 38 percent, contributing significantly to their scoring tally. Defensively, while they allowed 111 points against them, they managed to block six shots and steal seven times from the opposition.

The previous games paint a picture of fluctuation for the Suns. Against Oklahoma City Thunder, despite putting up over 100 points themselves (103), their defense let them down as they conceded 128 points. This was followed by a tighter defensive performance against Denver Nuggets where they won with a seven-point margin (104-97), showcasing better control over the game's pace.

One trend that stands out is Phoenix's ability to score effectively inside; consistently posting high percentages in points-in-the-paint statistics across these games indicates an aggressive approach close to the basket.

As we look ahead to this matchup at home where crowd support plays its part in boosting team morale and performance, it will be crucial for Phoenix to maintain their offensive efficiency while tightening up defensively if they wish to repeat their success against New Orleans.

The upcoming game is scheduled on April 7th at 3:00 PM MST and will be broadcasted on AZFamily as well as WVUE for fans looking to catch all the action live from Footprint Center in Phoenix.
