Suns’ fans have not gotten the chance to watch the team’s Big 3 of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal as much as they have hoped this season.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The trio played in only their 24th game together in last night’s 117-111 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Suns are now 15-9 when all three stars share the court. Phoenix is 38-27 on the season and in sixth place in the Western Conference.
In Booker’s first game back from injury, they did not skip a beat.
Kevin Durant had his personal-best fourth straight game of scoring 35 or more with 37 and eight rebounds. Booker had 27 points and seven assists, while Beal added 24 points and five rebounds.
In total, the three combined for 88 of the Suns’ 117 points on 35-of-67 shooting from the field, 20 rebounds and 17 assists. Even though the Cavs were shorthanded, the three stars made this offensive outburst look effortless against the NBA’s No. 3-rated defense.
An even more telling stat is that the Suns are now 5-0 when all three score 20 or more points in the same game. (h/t @DevinBookerMuse/ X)

Stats like these beg the question of just how dangerous the Suns will be come playoff time. If they can stay healthy.
With 17 games left in the season, how many more games will these three play together?
