After Bradley Beal’s impressive 27-point performance in the Phoenix Suns’ 110-100 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Christmas Day, teammate Kevin Durant talked about how well his teammate Bradley Beal played to get them the win. Besides, the 36-year-old didn’t hesitate to offer some pointed feedback.
Bradley Beal scored 27 points, had 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, and a block, helping the Suns win. But he missed some important shots that could have been costly. After the game, Kevin Durant praised Beal for his efforts but also called him out for missing two free throws.
He said, “Just a great all-around game. 4 steals tonight, a block, 11-for-21. He missed 2 FTs, which is trash. But we’ll take it. It was incredible to watch. In that 4Q, we played through him, and he took us home.”
