Paul scored 19 of his 30 points during a brilliant fourth-quarter scoring display and the Phoenix Suns beat the New Orleans Pelicans 110-99 on Sunday night in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series. “Classic Chris,” Suns coach Monty Williams said. The ageless veteran will turn 37 later in these playoffs if the Suns advance far enough, but once again looked a decade younger. He scored 17 straight points for the Suns at one point in the fourth. Suns: G Landry Shamet (sprained left foot) missed practice on Friday but was listed as available on Sunday.
