GAME STORY | Nikola Jokic danced and dazzled his way 39 points, and Denver’s defense clamped down on the Suns’ bevy of superstars.
Nikola Jokic danced and dazzled his way to 39 points, and Denver’s defense clamped down on the Suns’ bevy of superstars.
Devin Booker poured in 35 points before going chest-to-chest with Bruce Brown late in the game, his frustration boiling over. Kevin Durant drained 24, but it took him 27 shots to get there. The Suns managed just 14 points, total, in the fourth quarter. The third-quarter rims thawed for the Suns before they did for the Nuggets. Chris Paul carved his way into a handful of mid-range jumpers, and Booker worked his way to the elbow on a couple occasions as well. With little else working offensively, Jokic got aggressive.
Jokic, though, seized the opening. He scored 18 of the Nuggets’ 30 points in the quarter, helping to combat Booker’s rising confidence. By the time his run was over, it was a 73-70 Phoenix lead heading into the fourth.
