Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal Shed Light on What Doomed Phoenix Suns vs. New Orleans Pelicans

Phoenix, on the hand, saw its All-Star core fill up the stat sheet. Bradley Beal had 33 points, Devin Booker made 25, while Kevin Durant added 23 of his own. Apart from the three and Grayson Allen’s 11 points, no other player in the Suns’ lineup scored in double-digits.

The loss gave New Orleans a chance to tie Phoenix for the sixth spot. Both teams now have 46 wins and 32 losses each as the regular season will soon come to a close.

Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal Reveal Reasons For Phoenix Suns Loss to New Orleans Pelicans

After the game, both Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant spoke to reporters about their performance against the Pelicans. In several posts shared by Duane Rankin on X, both superstars reveal why Phoenix lost to New Orleans.

Compared to the Suns’ reserve unit, New Orleans had more players play well on both ends of the court. Phoenix, on the other hand, only had its All-Star trio to count on when it came to down the line.

With this loss, the Suns will have to work twice as hard to climb back up the standings. Otherwise, they’ll find themselves fighting for a playoff spot via the Play-In Tournament.
