Summary
The Suns were able to hold off the Pelicans on Thursday night, clinching their series on the strength of a classic Chris Paul game that showed off every tool in his bag. Pete, Darius, and Mike discuss Paul's command of the game and how much the combination of his skill set and will to win set the tone not only in this game, but for the Suns this season. Then later, the guys discuss the Pelicans season and their foundation moving forward, plus what their emergence -- and a stronger western conference -- means for the Lakers next year and beyond.

| 0:03.4 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.3 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.6 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:12.8 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.8 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.4 | I don't think you have to do things for money |

| 0:27.0 | Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And we had a trio of game sixes tonight. Full |
| 0:33.3 | disclosure, we are recording during the second half of the Dallas, Utah game. So we probably |
| 0:38.3 | won't get too much into that. I have it paused in the living room to resume once we're done |
| 0:43.7 | here. But in the earlier games, I thought one of the big stories, especially in the broader |
| 0:49.4 | themes of what we've been talking about lately, are a few of the lead guards really, really |
| 0:54.0 | shone through tonight. First was the tremendous... what we've been talking about lately are a few of the lead guards really, really shown through |
| 0:54.8 | tonight. First was the Toronto and Philly game, which went differently than we thought it might |

| 1:08.4 | second half. They scored 70 points. It was 70 to 36 in the second |
| 1:12.7 | half. And a lot of that was catalyzed by James Hardin and Tyrese Maxi in that third quarter. |
| 1:19.5 | They combined for 22 points. And a lot of their action was initiated from their guards. |
| 1:25.4 | And so it was kind of that missing piece that Philly had been so imbid-centric |
