Despite Historic Performance, Phoenix Suns Pick Up Big Game 4 Win

After two dominant home performances, the Denver Nuggets were considered heavy favourites to close out their round two series against the Phoenix Suns, but on the back of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, the series heads back to Colorado tied at two.

It wasn't for a lack of trying however, as two-time MVP Jokic put up an incredible performance, racking up 53 points, 11 assists on 20/30 shooting, but with KD and Booker combining for 72 points, the Suns have made this a fight.

The story coming out of this one however is the technical foul given to the Joker after the elbowed the Suns owner at courtside during a scuffle, but now we head for a critical Game 5 in Denver that could completely dictate the outcome of this fantastic series.
