The Phoenix Suns ( 12 - 16 ) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans ( 7 - 19 ) 104 - 88 on Friday in a game with very little energy . This was the case of two teams going through the motions and playing with very little energy . It 's unclear if it was the team 's lack of success or whether you could hear a pin drop in the stadium , but there was just no energy in the arena . The shooting really killed the Pelicans , as they went just 4 - for - 22 from three - point range . In what was anticipated to be a high - scoring game , the two teams really struggled on both ends . Phoenix took a 28 - 17 lead in the first quarter and it was n't really a game after that . The Pelicans are hard to watch right now . Their defense is one of the worst in the NBA and their offense had no rhythm tonight . They shot just 36 percent from the field and 18 percent from long distance . When the offense is playing like this with how bad their defense is , it 's nearly impossible for the Pelicans to win . New Orleans ' best player on the night was Anthony Davis , who collected 16 points and 12 rebounds . Eric Gordon shot the team out of the game , as he was just 2 - for - 11 from the field and 2 - for - 19 from three - point range in the loss . The bench is major strength for this team , but they accumulated just 36 points on the evening , which included some garbage time scoring . They 'll look to bounce - back against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday in their next game . The Suns shot 52 percent in the game and took advantage of a bad defense . They continued to get in the paint all night and scored 52 points in the paint . Eric Bledsoe has another great game , as he tallied 29 points , nine assists , five rebounds and two steals in the win . Alex Len also played well off the bench , as he amassed 19 points and 13 rebounds en route to a double - double . What Phoenix will like most about this win is the defense , as they have been terrible defensively all season . The Suns will host the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday in their next matchup .
