Suns vs. Nuggets score: Live NBA playoffs updates as Kevin Durant, Devin Booker lead Phoenix against Denver
Nuggets #Nuggets
As expected, the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns have advanced to the second round, setting up one of the most fascinating matchups we may see all postseason. Can Nikola Jokic lead the Nuggets back to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2020? Or will Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and the Suns have too much firepower?
The Nuggets got here after dispatching the Minnesota Timberwolves with relative ease in the first round. The Suns, on the other hand, had a little tougher path to the Western Conference semifinals as the shorthanded Los Angeles Clippers gave Durant, Booker and company much more trouble than anyone would have anticipated given Paul George missed the entire series while Kawhi Leonard missed the majority of it. Needless to say, the stakes are going up for both teams now that we’re one step closer to the NBA Finals so the Suns and Nuggets will have to put their best foot forward starting tonight.
