The defending Western Conference champions are putting their slow start behind them.

The Phoenix Suns defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 112-100 in Tuesday’s Western Conference battle at Footprint Center. Mikal Bridges led the scoring with 22 points as six players finished in double figures for the victors, who improved to 3-3 on the season with their second consecutive win.

Most notably, Chris Paul dished out 18 dimes and passed Steve Nash for the third-most assists in NBA history.
