Although they made some mistakes in rebounding and defense, the Suns stayed true to their philosophy and came out with positive results.
Kevin Durant led the charge for the Suns, putting up an impressive 30 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. Nikola Jokic, on the other hand, lacked aggression which worked in the Suns’ favor. Thaddeus Young stepped up in the backup center role for Phoenix, contributing significantly to the team’s success.
Despite Devin Booker having an off shooting night, he made an impact on the defensive end and distributed assists. The Suns shot well from beyond the arc and efficiently covered turnovers throughout the game. Jokic had a solid performance for the Nuggets, but his lack of aggressiveness was noticeable.
In a show of grit and determination, Bradley Beal played through an injury and provided a positive impact for the Suns. Overall, the Phoenix Suns demonstrated their resilience and skill in this hard-fought victory over the Denver Nuggets.
