Booker scores 47, Durant adds 39, Suns beat Nuggets 121-114 -
The Suns took a 90-88 lead into the fourth quarter, retaking the lead after the Nuggets erased a 15-point halftime deficit. Phoenix scored the first nine points of the fourth - including the final two on Durant’s fast-break dunk - to push their advantage to 99-88.
Denver’s Nikola Jokic - who finished second in the MVP voting on Tuesday to Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid - finished with 30 points, 17 assists and 17 rebounds. Denver coach Michael Malone said his team played well at times, but that the defense against Booker was “unacceptable.” Booker repeatedly got near the rim for short jumpers or layups, which contributed to the 20 of 25 shooting night.
Williams also shook up the bench rotation, giving Terrence Ross, Jock Landale and TJ Warren more minutes. Landale finished with six points and nine rebounds, while Warren hit a couple crucial buckets in the final minutes to help the Suns keep the lead.
