Unfortunately, I did not get the chance to watch the game last night so the opinions in this post are strictly made from the box score and highlights.
The Suns are a very good team.
All five starters for the Suns ended the game with 10+ points led by Devin Booker with 18. Yes, you read that right, the leading scorer had just 18 points. To win a game without a 20 point scorer by 25 points is very impressive and is a sign of a dangerous team.Jokic is a great basketball player, but he cannot do it alone.
Jokic was easily the best player on the floor for the Nuggets (as he usually is), but his supporting cast was no where to be found. The rest of the starters combined to make as many buckets as Jokic did. MPJ and Aaron Gordon will need to step up in big ways if the Nuggets have any chance of winning a game, let alone evening up the series.Series outlook? Suns win 4-0
I just don't see a way the Nuggets win a game this series. The Suns are proving how complete of a team they are and without Jamal Murray the Nuggets a lacking a scorer to lead the team with the Joker.

I don't see the series going past five games since the Nuggets may win one at home. Suns are just look like an overall better team and Chris Paul has been in Point God mode as usual. It's pretty much karma for Jokic winning MVP over Embiid.
I said it last night and I'll say it again, MPJ has to step up as the #2 for Denver or they are screwed. The Suns have it all going winning their last 5 in a row. Only way the Suns get a game is if Porter goes for 30+ on any given night, the spacing with Jokic has been crap because Phoenix is not worried about anyone else shooting the ball. Without Murray they lack the pick and roll offense that is their staple.
