"Nobody has seen this, 14-for-14, it gives you the utmost confidence playing with him," said Booker, who denied Paul a perfect night as he demanded $100 to settle a bet because Paul had more than two turnovers (he had 3 with eight assists). But he did make a vital 3-pointer with 1:42 left that gave the Suns the lead for good, off a feed from Paul, of course. Booker battled through it to return Thursday and wasn't quite himself as he scored just 13 points. It was needed as Devin Booker missed three and a half games with a hamstring injury. At halftime I realized I might need to shoot a little bit more." "It's unbelievably special, you have no idea how special it is for me," said Paul, who played his first six seasons in New Orleans and has a lot of connections in the city and with the Pelicans. Combined with two 19-point fourth quarters earlier in the series and a 16-point first half in the pivotal Game 5, Paul was clearly the difference-maker in getting his team to the second round. Paul's biggest was his last one, a 10-foot pull-up in the lane with 28 seconds left that bounced around the rim before dropping. Only Wilt Chamberlain has made more without a miss, once going 18-of-18 and another time 16-of-16, both in regular-season games. Riding his favorite play, Paul made NBA playoff history as he became the first player ever to make 14-of-14 shots on his way to 33 points to lead a comeback 115-109 Game 6 victory Thursday night. NEW ORLEANS - With the top-seeded Phoenix Suns in some danger with one star hurt and an ascendant Pelicans team giving them problems, future Hall of Famer Chris Paul delivered a signature series performance, including the best shooting game of his career to finish the close out.
