There were 4 or 5 instances in the 4th quarter alone where the Suns would get the ball to Devin Booker with Kevin Durant next to him at the top of the key, Book would pass to KD as soon as the double team came to him, KD would pass to his left when the double team came to him, the last defender on the left side would have to shuffle over and leave Landry Shamet wide open in the left corner with the nearest defender a country mile away. Really felt like Denver's defense was played like a fiddle in that 4th quarter after Booker's insane shooting put the fear of god in them.
Contrast that with Michael Porter Jr. for the Nuggets, who missed 3 or 4 wide open threes in the half, had a weak foul on Ayton that gave him an and-one, and sullied the only good play I saw him make in the half by airballing a three after a good steal that iirc would have tied the game if it went. MPJ sold pretty hard from what I saw.
