Kevin Durant Valiant Effort Falls Short: Nuggets Prevail in Epic Showdown
The Phoenix Suns lost Game 2 of the 2021 NBA Playoffs to the Denver Nuggets. Although there were multiple intricacies to the game, it can be boiled down to the fact that the Suns needed their second star, Kevin Durant, to perform at his best and contribute in the way he was expected to in order to steal a game that they shot 40% in.
However, Durant failed to deliver, going 2-for-12 on 3s and failing to have a significant impact on the game. Chris Paul’s injury status will define how much this loss comes back to bite the Suns. If he can’t return, the Suns would need at least one masterclass from Booker and Durant each night, plus the return of Ayton from the 2021 playoffs.
If Paul comes back, he still won’t be at 100%, as he has not been in the last two postseasons. The Suns had a chance to win the game, being up seven with under three minutes to go in the third quarter, but they lost their rhythm once Paul left the game.
Denver’s late defensive wrinkles stalled them out. When an action didn’t work, it was hero ball from Durant or Booker. However, neither player was able to make a significant impact. In the end, it was the better team that won.
