Suns' Brandon Knight: Explodes for 37 points Thursday

Knight exploded for 37 points (14-22 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists, and two rebounds over 34 minutes in Thursday's 118-104 victory over the Clippers.

Knight was granted a reprieve from a dose of Chris Paul defense when the Clippers' All-Star point guard sat out Thursday's game, and he took full advantage. The 23-year-old posted a career high in points and set season bests in field goal percentage, three-pointers, and three-point shooting percentage. Additionally, after an alarming eight-turnover night versus the Thunder's Russell Westrbook in the Suns' most recent contest, Knight handed the ball over to the opposition on only one occasion Thursday. The stellar performance brought Knights per-game scoring metric up to 20.3 on the young season, a figure he has supplemented with nightly averages of 4.4 assists and 4.0 rebounds.
