Nikola Jokic Shares Honest Take on Devin Booker and Kevin Durant
The Phoenix Suns got two dominant performances from Kevin Durant and Devin Booker on Friday night, as the star duo combined for 86 points in their Game 3 victory over the Denver Nuggets. After the game, Nikola Jokic shared an honest take on the two star players, saying they are probably the two best scorers in the NBA right now.
Through the first two rounds of the NBA playoffs, Booker leads the league in scoring at 36.9 PPG, and Kevin Durant ranks 6th at 29.3 PPG. Booker has been doing it on incredible efficiency, averaging his 36.9 PPG on a ridiculous 60.2% from the field.
It was high praise from Jokic, who is having a dominant postseason run himself. The two-time MVP is averaging 28.0 PPG, 14.3 RPG, and 9.0 APG in 8 playoff games so far, and has his Nuggets two wins away from the Western Conference Finals.
As Booker and Durant showed in Game 3, the Suns will not go quietly. The Nuggets understand this, and will look to secure a massive Game 4 victory, and give themselves an opportunity to close this series out at home in Game 5.
Despite the offensive explosion from Durant and Booker in Game 3, the Nuggets still made things interesting late in the game, which is an encouraging sign for them heading into Game 4.
