That’s an obvious foul on Paul, although nothing was called during the game. Paul works around the Deandre Ayton pick, and Alvarado fights over that as well, but Paul’s jump shooting motion involves an unnatural leg kick that caught Alvarado in the groin. The shot was an airball.
Alvarado has been a pest for CP3 this series, even forcing a couple of 8-second violations.
Paul and the Suns get Devin Booker back for Game 6 and will look to close out the series on Thursday night in New Orleans.
