Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are going to need a lot more help if the Suns have any hope against Denver.
Devin Booker pointed to the Suns' turnovers and Nuggets getting 17 more shots.The Suns' 125-107 loss to the Nuggets in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal playoff series was so lopsided that it calls into question why anyone ever thought Phoenix was a legitimate contender to win an NBA title this season.
Blame the ballhandlers? The Suns had more turnovers than a bakery, led by Kevin Durant . The Suns had 16 giveaways compared to just 20 assists. Blame the cold spell in the second quarter? The Suns lost that period 37-19. The Suns were up by a point after the first quarter. They were down 17 by halftime. The game was never close afterward.
