Durant has played 26 minutes, has seven rebounds, one assist, and 21 points. The power forward is showing poise, but a foul made at the end of the quarter caused a gut-wrenching 4-point play leaving a second on the clock.
Despite the recent 1-1 record since the return of Bradely Beal and KD currently the Suns are 9th overall in the tight race in the Western Conference. In the in-season tournament, the Suns are leading in Group B, the team may have to consider careful ball handling and tighter ball passes to eliminate giving away easy baskets and execute a better offensive plan come Saturday.
The Suns are in the fourth quarter now, coming off a phenomenal win over the Lakers yesterday 127-100. Could they pull off the win and get the offense executed or are they too fatigued to pull through?
