MADRID, 16 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish center Willy Hernángomez had quality minutes in the defeat (115-131) of the New Orleans Pelicans against the Phoenix Suns who continue to launch and add their fourth victory in the last five games, a balance that allows them to continue leading the West.
Willy spent 11 minutes on the court, in which he scored 10 points and grabbed four rebounds, more than acceptable figures for the center, who saw his team lose again. And it is that it is the fifth loss in the last six meetings of the Pelicans. The good performances of Jones (22 points) and McCollum (21 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists) were of no use, who were surpassed by a great Devin Booker.
The Suns point guard scored 27 points, dished out eight assists and grabbed five rebounds, while JaVal McGee capped off an equally remarkable night with 19 points and 7/10 shooting. The Suns were far superior throughout the match, winning every quarter, reaching 54 wins, to lead the Western Conference, with only 14 losses.
