NBA, Suns Fans React to Game 3 Win vs Nuggets

The Phoenix Suns were able to escape Game 3 with a 121-114 victory over the Denver Nuggets, leveling the second-round series to 2-1 as we approach Game 4.

Per usual, the world of NBA and Suns twitter had plenty to say following the win to prevent the sweep.

We'll start things off with Deandre Ayton, who frustrated plenty of fans tonight with a whopping four points:

Devin Booker - per usual - led the charge with a whopping 47 points, the most out of any player on the court. He's completely taken the Suns to the next level.

The Nuggets trailed by as much as 16 in the loss, though they made several comeback attempts throughout the game. They even took the lead in the late stages of the third quarter.

The stars were out in Phoenix, however. Odell Beckham Jr., Damian Lillard and Caleb Williams were in attendance.

Kevin Durant scored a sturdy 39 points, though many of his points came from his appearances at the free throw line.

The Suns just attempted 16 free throws in one game and every single one of them was taken by Kevin Durant and only Kevin Durant. That has to be a record of something.

Now, momentum appears to be back on the side of Phoenix.
