Paul will be back... we promise. But he's out for at least one more week, so we have Coach Evan B (@CoachEvanB) from the He's On Fire Podcast (@HesOnFirePod) join us on this episode of Fanning the Flames as we discuss:

The positives we saw from the Phoenix Suns in Game 1 against the Dallas Mavericks;

Whether the Mavs can make any adjustments to combat the Suns;

The Phoenix Suns finally closed out the New Orleans Pelicans, taking home a 4-2 series victory. We are sans Paul again this week, but are joined by friend of the show and Suns die-hard Sam Good (@samgood) as we take a look back at the hard-fought series and say our goodbyes to Mr. Avocado and the rest of the Pelicans.

The first round is just the start, as we also dive into Devin Booker's return and the looming series with Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.

All that, plus our typical fun and games on this episode of Fanning the Flames!

THE SUNS WIN IT IN 6!

Chris Paul's brilliance. Devin Booker's return. Deandre Ayton's dominance. Mikal Bridges' growth. Cam Johnson's Thursdays. What a game!

Led by Chris Paul's perfect game (14/14FG), the Suns offense fired on all cylinders tonight as they put on a masterclass in efficiency against the New Orleans Pelicans. Booker's return may not have been excellent, but he hit the big shot when it mattered and his return alone instills plenty of hope as the Suns look towards round 2.

**The Suns will play the Mavericks in Round 2 on Monday, 5/2 at 9pm CST**

The Suns took the lead with their first bucket and never gave it back! The Suns, led by a superb Mikal Bridges' performance on both sides of the ball, put together a total team win to take the 3-2 lead going back to New Orleans. Also... did you hear Devin Booker yell "I'm Back"? We'll have to wait and see about that one!

The Phoenix Suns are tied 1-1 in their Playoff matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The team is coming off a loss at home in which Devin Booker hurt his hamstring and, tomorrow, the Suns travel to New Orleans for game 3.

Are the Suns facing adversity? Absolutely. Can they overcome it? Definitely. Will they overcome it? You better believe it. And on this episode of Fanning the Flames, we're joined by Boyd (@boods83) and Gavin from the Aussie Suns Fans Podcast (@AussieSunsFans) as we break it all down and explain why the Suns are going to be just fine. So, if you need a little jolt of optimism, you've come to the right place!

The Suns took Game 1, beating the Pelicans 110-99!

Chris Paul took over the 4th Quarter to seal the victory, but the Suns had massive contributions from top to bottom. Speaking of Paul, he became the oldest player to record 30 points and 10 assists in a playoff game, finishing with that exact stat line (19 points in the 4th alone). The last player to set that record? Phoenix's own Steve Nash.
