The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets were locked in a tight battle in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series. With the series tied at two games apiece, the Suns needed a big performance from their stars to take the lead. And that’s exactly what they got from Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.
Booker and Durant combined for an incredible 72 points to lead the Suns to a 122-105 victory over the Nuggets. Booker was particularly impressive, scoring a game-high 39 points on 14-of-22 shooting from the field. He also added nine rebounds and five assists. Durant, meanwhile, had 33 points on 13-of-22 shooting, along with five rebounds and four assists.
The duo’s performance was crucial for the Suns, who had struggled to find their rhythm in the series. They had lost the first two games by double digits and were in danger of falling behind 3-1. But Booker and Durant stepped up when it mattered most, leading Phoenix to a much-needed win.
The Suns will now look to take advantage of their momentum as they head back to Denver for Game 5. If they can win that game, they will take a 3-2 lead in the series and be in prime position to advance to the second round.
Booker and Durant’s performance was a reminder of why they are two of the best players in the league. They have the ability to take over a game and carry their team when it matters most. And that’s exactly what they did in Game 4, leading the Suns to a crucial victory.
