Utah needs to get better on defense, they're only 26th in the NBA in defensive efficiency, but from an offensive standpoint they played well enough to win this game.
Refs are the worst in history this year. HOLY HELL. All of the Phoenix metro area must've plowed their wives in order to deserve such one-sided refereeing.๐คก๐คก๐คก๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
Kd on his 2017 2018 form. Nailing it again, one of my ๐
Kevin Durant:
38pts (15-22 FGM, 6-8 3PM, 2-2 FTM)
9 Rebs
9 Asts
Booker and KD are such an insane duo. Booker with 24 points, 15 assists, and only one turnover. KD with 38 points on 68% shooting, 9 assists, and only one turnover. Amazing efficiency together.
Lebron and KD rivalry will always be legendary. 21 seasons and 16 seasons yet still putting up elite numbers
Meanwhile wardell is sitting out games. Thereโs a reason he was a background character and got 0 fmvps during the cavs/warriors finals.
You have to take your hat off to Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson. Both of those dudes played very well tonight, even though they lost this game.
The rookie on the jazz team bullshit
Clarkson ๐ฅ
Games like this remind you why you love NBA basketball.
should talk about JC
KD 38 ponts, 9 rebound, 9 assists.
Good game SUNS โ
Regardless of the record kd is the mvp rn, bro has been playing out of his mind.
Kd and jc both excellent
at this point itโs time to acknowledge the elephant in the room: kd is a better scorer, more clutch, better rebounder and defender, and better player all time than wardell.
While their rings are both asterisks, kdโs holds more weight because he actually got fmvps. It took wardell 6 tries to finally get a fmvp. He has better career stats too.
KD is being him again nice to see that vintage KD
Where is Bradley Beal?
That was a great trade
The three haven't played a single game together
The Suns always make the worse trades
Kd ๐fire
Kd>>whole league
Whoโs beating this team 4 times๐ญ๐ญ
Not good Court
View Court not good
KD AND JC ON ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Vintage KD is really unstoppable man! Insane!
I hope these floor colors do not continue. Itโs almost unwatchable.
y'all sleeping on Clarkson
Always watching hug to hug tayo jan. Dikit dikit tayo jan
So fun to watch KD shoot
That was a close game. ๐
Great Job Suns!! ๐
And Great Game, Booker and Durant!! ๐
If yโall questioning some of the fouls that got called against the jazz just peep the birth place of the reffing crew chief bill kennedy
Crazy how good KD still is even after an achilles tear.
KD is still the best player in the league
Kevin "Slim Ripper" Durant is unstoppable ๐ฅ๐
KD is still the walking mismatch in the NBA.
That block by horton
Lethal KD…cooking
Durant MVP . ๐
Clarkson๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Man what a game Jordan Clarkson fire ๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ
Great game from KD, and pretty impressive ball management from Booker.
Fun game watch
Classic KD hitting the game winning 3 from the same exact spot on the court off a hezi with the arm up pose after.. seen that movie many times
The shock making in this game was crazy
this is Bookers team but KD is their best player
JC does it all its the defense of utah didn't work against KD close game
The Suns are great offensively, but they will definitely struggle defensively against Elite teams.
Its bolbol bday today dsmn tney could hsve gave him 3 mins.
INTENSE BATTLE ๐ช๐ฅ๐ช
