Kevin Durant and Devin Booker Set NBA Record in Game 4 vs. Nuggets
In This Story:
With back-to-back dominant performances as a duo, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker have not only led the Phoenix Suns to two massive wins, but they have made NBA history in the process. In their win over the Denver Nuggets in Game 4, Durant and Booker became the first teammates in NBA history to each record 35 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds in consecutive playoff games.
Durant and Booker have been an unstoppable duo the last two games, as their offensive firepower has been too much for Denver to handle. The Nuggets got a historic performance from Nikola Jokic in Game 4, but it was not enough to overcome the dominant duo of Durant and Booker.
More importantly than the statistical history from Durant and Booker in this game, the Suns evened the series at 2-2. Losing the first two games on the road, Phoenix defended home court with consecutive wins in Games 3 and 4. Now set to hit the road for Game 5, the Suns will look to carry this momentum with them.
What Durant and Booker have shown over the last two games is exactly why so many people had Phoenix as title favorites once they made the move to acquire Durant from the Brooklyn Nets earlier this season. Even with minimal depth, the Suns have top-end talent that is hardly rivaled by any team in the league.
