Suns deserve praise for evening series with Nuggets

When the Western Conference second round playoff series returned to Phoenix on Friday with the Suns down two games to none, it was clear that Phoenix head coach Monty Williams, the 2022 NBA Coach of the Year, needed to make some adjustments. The approach in games three and four looked to be something like this. Let Nuggets stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray do their thing, and try to make a concerted effort in outscoring Denver’s unit as a whole. It has seemed to pay off as Phoenix won 121-114 in game three and 129-124 in game four to tie the best out of seven series at two games apiece.

In game three, the Nuggets lost by seven even though Jokic of Sombor, Serbia had an amazing triple double of 30 points, 17 rebounds and 17 assists. Then in game four, Jokic had an amazing total of 53 points, the most points ever scored by a NBA player in a single postseason regulation loss.

Yes, Jamal Murray of Kitchener, Ontario has been strong for the Nuggets too as he has scored 60 points in game three and four. However where he has struggled has been defending Devin Booker. In game three, Booker scored 47 points, and in game four scored 36 points. Booker was the co-leader in scoring for the Suns as Kevin Durant also scored 36 points for Phoenix in the fourth game of the series. Durant meanwhile has been prolific too with 75 points in the last two contests.

The next three games of the series should be mighty interesting. The series is now a best of three. It appears that Suns star point guard Chris Paul could be back for game six after injuring his groin in game one. Paul has not played in the series since, but his experience could be beneficial in the series’s most pivotal games. Game five is Tuesday in Denver.
