As the Phoenix Suns and the Denver Nuggets battle it out in the second round of the playoffs, one thing is for certain, the stars came to play on both teams.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Jamal Murray, and Nikola Jokic have been putting up stat lines that resemble video game like numbers. Game 4 was no different.
Game 4 Stats
Devin Booker is having maybe the most efficient playoff run in the history of the NBA. He is shooting lights out this series. In Game 4 him and Durant both put up 36 points.
Booker also added 12 assist and 6 boards to his stat line while Durant added 6 assist and 11 boards.
The superstar duo for the Nuggets have been right there with the Suns duo through out this series as well. In Game 4 alone Murray and Jokic put up 81 points combined.
Jamal Murray scored 28 points, grabbed 5 rebounds and added 7 assist. While the Joker, Nikola Jokic scored an astounding 53 points on the night.
No matter who was guarding the Joker, he seemed to not be phased. He scored at will from every spot on the floor, in the paint, mid range, and even made 2 threes.
Joker was on Fire, Didn’t Matter
Even though he scored 53 points, nobody on the Nuggets had an answer for the early 4th quarter run the Suns went on. Once the Suns pushed it to a double digit lead at 116-106, it was nothing the Joker or anybody could do.
Denver cut the lead to 5 a few times down the stretch and thats what the final score ended up being, a 5 point victory for the Suns; 129-124.
The series is tied 2-2 and now comes down to the final three games this week.
