4. Bledsoe Career-High
On Mar. 21, the Suns went to Houston and decisively won against the Rockets in what ended up being a critical stretch on the schedule where Phoenix beat the Knicks, Pelicans, Rockets and Mavericks all in the space of one week.
The key was P.J. Tucker keeping “the Beard” in check. James Harden only tallied 16 points on a miserable 5-of-19 shooting from the field, only getting to the charity stripe five times. Five other players for Houston scored between 10 and 18 points, but it wasn’t enough as Phoenix came out victorious 117-102.
For Phoenix, it was all about Eric Bledsoe’s 34 points. That was a career-high and he did it in only 37 minutes. He also added in eight boards, four assists, and handful of steals and a block to finish out his spectacular night. However, Tucker threw in 19 points and the Morrii finished with 17 each.
Next: No. 5
