The Phoenix Suns are starting their NBA season against the Golden State Warriors tomorrow night. Getting a win against a team like the Warriors in Golden State is already hard when healthy. It’s damn near impossible when your team isn’t at full strength. Hopefully that is not the case for the Suns.

The “Big 3” of Kevin Durant, Beal, and Booker have played two games together. In the first preseason game against the Detroit Pistons the three all-stars played in the first half. They looked to have great chemistry in that game.
Durant finished the game with 12 points on 4/7 shooting from the floor and a plus/minus of +14. Booker also played well in that game. He had 12 points on 5/9 shooting from the floor and a plus/minus of +16. Beal finished the game with 11 points on 3/5 shooting and a plus/minus of +16.
They all played again against the Portland Trailblazers in the fourth game of the preseason. Durant and Booker shot the ball well again. Durant and Booker scored 19 points each. Beal had 11 points.
This small sample of what is possible with this three playing together got fans really excited. Hopefully we see all three of them against the Warriors.
