In this story:

Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns now trail 1-0 to the Denver Nuggets following their 125-107 loss in Game 1, and Jamal Murray was the star of the night after going for 34 points.

What would be a Nuggets performance without Nikola Jokic doing his thing?

Denver's dynamic duo failed to have a proper answer from Phoenix, and frankly that drove people nuts.

Devin Booker - typically the subject of national discussion when Phoenix loses. He finished with 27 while Kevin Durant finished with 29.

Landry Shamet again saw action on the court, playing more minutes than any other backup guard once again. He finished with three points and a plus/minus of -15.

Denver is a perfect 4-0 at home postseason and are now favorites to win the series after Game 1.

Should Suns fans be worried?

Phoenix's bench again failed to show up, scoring just 24 points even with everybody playing the final five minutes of the night. 

The Suns hope to rebound in major fashion in Game 2, which will be Monday at 7:00 PM PST.
