With an elimination looming, the Phoenix Suns needed a big Game 6 performance from Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. The Denver Nuggets proved to be too big of a task for the Suns to handle as Phoenix has been eliminated from the playoffs in an embarassing fashion. What went wrong and where does the blame lie? Is it Monty Williams…
For the second year in a row, the Phoenix Suns trailed by 30 points at halftime in a do-or-die playoff game at home. And for the second year in a row, the Suns went on to lose said game by double digits, leaving the NBA’s longest-tenured franchise without a championship facing some unpleasant questions. In Phoenix’s 125-100 loss to the…
If the Phoenix Suns want to keep their championship hopes alive, they need to put together another two-game win streak against the Denver Nuggets. Before tackling the challenge of winning at Ball Arena, where the top-seeded Nuggets are 40-7 between the regular season and playoffs, the first step is bouncing back and protecting home court in Game 6. The Suns…
It’s a tale as old as time, or at least as old as 2015: Devin Booker needs help. That feels like a ludicrous statement for a Phoenix Suns team that has Kevin Durant, but it became abundantly hard to ignore, yet again, in their 118-102 loss to the Denver Nuggets in Game 5 on Tuesday. It was the first time…
Facing a 2-0 series deficit, the absence of Chris Paul and the knowledge that no team in NBA playoff history had ever come back from being down 3-0, Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns played with desperation Friday night.

It’s a phrase that’s been heard around the Valley since Durant joined the Phoenix Suns, but Game 2 of their second-round series against the Denver Nuggets…
Coming off a 125-107 shellacking in Game 1 of their second-round series against the Denver Nuggets, the Phoenix Suns have a lot to prove in Game 2. They took a shot to the jaw in Friday’s opener, and while it’s too soon to declare Game 2 a “must-win” game, another loss in that fashion would sow seeds of doubt that…
As a team that routinely wages an uphill battle against basic math, the Phoenix Suns have little room for error when it comes to the possession game. Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinals matchup against the Denver Nuggets proved how ugly it can get when they lose on both fronts, especially against such a quality opponent. Make no mistake…
Devin Booker stunned the world with his Game 5 performance in the first round of the NBA Playoffs against the Los Angeles Clippers. Kevin Durant called Bookers performance “spiritual”… was he right? Now the Phoenix Suns are set to take on the Denver Nuggets in the seminfinals. Who will emerge victorious>? There is a new Arizona Cardinal in the Valley.…
After a gentleman’s sweep of the shorthanded LA Clippers in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, the Phoenix Suns are in a familiar position: facing the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals.
