NBA, Suns Fans React to Wild Game 4 Win vs Nuggets

The Phoenix Suns were able to snag a clutch Game 4 victory over the Denver Nuggets in 129-124 fashion,

The series - now even a 2-2 after Phoenix failed to win a game in Denver - heads back to the Mile High City with anything possible.

There's plenty of storylines to move through, though we have to start with the obvious hero of the game in Landry Shamet.

Shamet scored 19 points (he previously had 17 the entire postseason combined previously) and provided a much needed spark off the bench for the Suns.

Let it be known until the end of time.

The talk of tonight can't go unnoticed - Suns owner Mat Ishbia was pushed by Nikola Jokic in the second quarter. He did quite the job selling it, too.

Jokic finished with 53 points.

Devin Booker tied with Kevin Durant on the night with 36 points while also adding six rebounds and twelve assists.

Devin Booker has to be the least discussed great player in the league.

Devin Booker has dead ass looked like the best offensive player in the world this postseason man. This is not normal stuff we seeing.

Durant himself added 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals on the night.

Now... we've got ourselves a series.

If the Nuggets can’t rely on doubling Devin Booker and Kevin Durant most possessions because others are making their shots, this series is about to flip entirely.

Monty Williams had to play a lot of guys he didn't want to in this series, and those are the guys that have evened the series up.
