Chris Paul smelled an opportunity to make history tonight (Tuesday through Wednesday), so he decided to do it in style.
Eight assists were enough for the veteran quarterback to move up to third place in the all-time table in the NBA, but he delivered no less than 18 and led the runner-up to a comeback from minus 20 to a 100-11 home win over the New Orleans Pelicans, the team where he began his career, bypassing Mark Jackson and Steve Nash on the road to a historic achievement for him.
CP3 was responsible for 25 of the Suns' 36 points in the final quarter, whether in shooting or passing, while the entire opponent scored just 18.
The point guard had a total of 14 points for the 36-year-old Point Gad, who also dropped 7 rebounds and provided a show that left behind Phoenix's faltering season opener, which went up 3: 3 after three losses in the first four games.

"It's an amazing feeling," Chris Paul said at the conclusion. "My family here, my dad who was the first to put a ball in my hands. And do it against New Orleans, where it all started for me. This city will always be a family for me, I feel lucky and grateful I can still play. We had an ugly game. The coach "We got in at the break, rightly. Our and my losses must get better, but we like to learn from victories," the coordinator added without forgetting what complicated his team tonight as well - 19 turnovers, 4 of them his own.
Teammate Devin Booker commented on the achievement at the press conference: "We continue to act like it's normal. 'Oh, he overtook Steve Nash, Mark Jackson.' It's bigger than that, really. It's and I'm just happy to be a part of it. It's inspiring, I've been a fan of it for a long time. "
Coach Monty Williams added: "I'm happy to take part in the journey. When we brought him in the trade I had no idea, because I do not look at these things. We do not take it for granted, but it is not surprising. I see how he works, does the fights, Changing his diet, lifting weights. He wants to win. Seeing him bypass all these people in the assists and steals tables, it's pretty cool to be up to this greatness. Tonight he just did not mean to let us lose, he talked and put the players in their positions. About our team and we must improve by making it easier for him. "

Start on the left foot for the first draft pick
Meanwhile in Detroit, Cade Cunningham hopes to one day become an equally good coordinator as Chris Paul, but is having a very hard time starting his career in the best league in the world.
The first pick in the 2021 draft tonight completed his second career game in the Pistons' 117: 89 defeat against champion Milwaukee Bucks, and at the end of his first two appearances he stands at 3 of 22 from the field - the second worst balance in history in the shooting hours (since 1954/55 season) .
The 20-year-old Cunningham, naturally considered a huge talent and highly anticipated for his first NBA games after missing the first week and a half of the season due to injury, missed 12 of his 14 shots from the field tonight and finished with 6 points and 3 assists in almost 30 minutes On the parquet.
Coach Dwayne Casey is not worried: "This young guy only played two games after being out for a month. He's still rusting down, so we tried to give him more minutes towards the end to help him with that."
