Chris Paul has urged the Phoenix Suns to "keep this train moving" after they defeated the Los Angeles Clippers to snap a five-game losing streak.

On Thursday, the Suns defeated the undermanned Clippers 111-95 to put an end to their road trip.

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Norman Powell, Reggie Jackson, and Ivica Zubac were absent from Los Angeles because they were attacked in their own backyard.

Mikal Bridges led the way with 27 points, while Paul chipped in with 15 and added 13 assists in the victory that improved their record to 17-12.

Phoenix are now in fourth place in the Western Conference, and point guard Paul is eager to start winning.

"I'm happy we finally got a win out of this road trip, and we're going to try to keep this train moving," he said.

Bridges received accolades from Suns head coach Monty Williams for how he handled having a bad game against the Houston Rockets.

Have yourself a night, @mikal_bridges 👏

"He's a prideful player," Williams said. "He needed a forklift to get his lip off the ground the other night, he was so down about his performance.

"When he's shooting the ball like (tonight), we're a pretty good team."

The Clippers are 17-14 and occupy eighth spot in the Western Conference.
