Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Full Highlights 4th QTR | Mar 27 | NBA Season 2023-2024

And then the rare occasion when they do miss rebounding the ball defensively because that’s when we’re at our best if we can force the Miss get a defensive rebound then we have to get out and run right now we’re not getting enough stops or enough defensive rebounds to put

Pressure on them you guys have been one of the best clutch teams in the sport the last two seasons how do you manage that now in these non Joker minutes coming up well it’s going to be important these first three or four minutes to get off to a good start that

Starts defens the elite guys got to step up scramble around get them off that three-point line and try to get some easy ones down there we need some offense off of our defense coach Malone good luck thank Youk guys back to you well George just mentioned that how

Clutch Denver is it’s the opposite for Phoenix the worst fourth quarter team in the NBA they’ve been outscored by 27 points not only is that the worst the next worst is Miami been out scored by 100 so that’s quite the Gap but a good start with young getting the basket

Inside yeah and it’s not just categories it’s it’s it’s semi alarming you know it’s points in the fourth quarter it’s field goal 27 three-o 24th rebounds 29th I mean you can keep going on the list um they’re too talented for that and and look they got a lead right now so let’s

See if they can start reversing that on the road against a great team Denver one of the best in the NBA although missing one guy but here you go I mean look at this turnovers I look I I really look at that turnovers in the fourth quarter I

That that to me is a real issue and can they clean it up Frank Boogle we asked him before the game fourth quarter he said it’s a lot about executed and and I think that’s it I think he put his finger on it but again they’ve got this

Lead now let’s see if they can hold it they’ve got four quick points here in the first minute of the second half and their bench has been really good 24 bench points Thad young has given him quality minutes and just his sixth game on the roster his 17th NBA season so

Right now you’ve got Beal with the second group Durant and Booker on the bench O’Neal excellent pick up at the deadline drives can’t finish a little out of control rebound Gordon and Denver trying to survive the nonic minutes Jamal Murray missing the game due to injury knocked out of bounds

By Phoenix Denver will keep possession well in this second unit now they’ve got two starters in cwell Pope and Aaron Gordon in their team when yic is sitting out and he’s not there and that’s what’s making it hard for this Denver team they’re used to having that other quarterback

Denver’s won four in a road nine of 10 Phoenix coming off the lost to San Antonio 10 games left starting tonight test of where they are as a team in terms of their identity here on the fourth quarter they give up a three there to Gordon that’s the first triple

Tonight for Aaron Gordon he’s got [Applause] 18 B ball was really been up and down but had a good night tonight missed there but got the rebound goes back up misses again and brown Taps it to Watson Christian Brown has been quiet no points 34 the last two games but nothing

Tonight here’s Brown in the lane from Gordon elected not to shoot pulled it out with bll right there took a three and there’s young over the top of Gordon to n Michael Malone talked about this second unit needing to push the ball they had a chance there with pton Watson

They pulled it out it’s not a good as good half court obviously with no yic but this Denver unit right here they get a rebound they have to run to get something easy on offense good hands by Watson and then a great attempt at a save as he crashed Booker or Durant for

Phoenix 32 minutes played already for joic they’ve got Minnesota up next here on Friday two games left with the w Wes shot clock at two here’s Gordon sensing it left-handed Runner backs home maybe it’s Phoenix’s night well those type of shots go in you make you make yourself

Believe it will be and that excellent defense and Gordon just throws it up gets the the bank to go in for him I think Denver’s seen enough one-handed Lefty Runners at the end of a shot clock or game clock to last a lifetime good job and the half courtt

Defensively by Phoenix an empty possession there for Denver three and a half minutes gone by in the fourth Denver being held to 76 points just 26% from three and the number seven rated offense in the league thordon on the jab step gets past Caldwell Pope Str by Caldwell Pope and a

Take away and then a nice pass ahead to Watson in transition and then fouled on the step through by O’Neal his third and the second on Phoenix looking for his first point of the game take a look at the upcoming National TV schedule NBA TV tomorrow night thing about the NBA this

Season maybe more than any other in recent history is the parody it’s just the you can say Denver maybe is the favorite in the west maybe but although o mity and Minnesota are right behind him and then Boston has separated itself but this West I mean it’s every game we

Talk about it it’s it’s not just conjecture every game does matter for these teams and how about the the no lead is safe Banner that is flying over the League this year I mean Atlanta comes back from 30 down to Boston the other night to win that game yeah it is um

It’s a new world right I mean 20 is the new 10 or you know it’s it’s just these these leads go away and and it’s fun to watch you can’t turn any game off it’s over it’s fun to watch yic now with 18 points nine assists seven rebounds Denver back with in 10

Gordon Way out missed it soaring in there to get the rebound is Watson Denver trying to cut it to single digits make the most of having joic back on the floor for the last three minutes here Gordon Baseline strong move couldn’t get a great tip by Watson def was completely

Right I mean that that’s two points that’s two points should not have been on the board it’s 8981 O’Neal for three and he drills it that’s the 143 for Phoenix tonight big response right you could feel the game going hand back dous way big shot by O’Neal Phoenix needed a

Three and D guy for their bench they got it at the deadline with O’neal He commits a foul here on Gordon that is four on and playing for a lot of teams and Phoenix been such a hard team to figure out but if the Suns play like

This they could be very dangerous as jic thought that was in he was in shock that it didn’t drop he did the double plead even when he missed a shot put the open hands out reaches in here look like maybe a jump ball he had and tied up good job by Watson

Defensively shot clock down to four a Sun’s bench has been a Difference Maker in this game the starters are back out there and Allen cans a three Grayson Allen with his third three-pointer back breaking shots there that Allen three and the Royo one and Denver played great defense from much of

That possession but Phoenix making the Timely threes and trying and a lot of times players say oh we got a lot of time left and they got a lot of season left and we’ll figure it out it was a different type of interview and response and he has not had a field goal

Since the first quarter Devin Booker’s not been a factor as a score in this game as jic missed that offensive ran Watson and the putback but even with the struggles for the starting backboard tonight for the Suns they still are up 12 because of that great bench play

And Beal dealing with a finger injury on that shooting hand three from Durant good and Kevin Durant with 28 points on 15 shots and you see this Phoenix team tonight and you say what what’s going on with them where’s this team it doesn’t look like a fourth quarter problem so far and you

Wonder can they can they be consistent and that that’s the question I think can they do this each game or show semblance of this each game nine games left after tonight after tonight all against playoff teams they have the Clippers twice the Pelicans twice Minnesota twice they’re at

Oklahoma City on Friday this should be a great way to start this stretch by getting a win against the defending champ who’ve only lost twice since the All-Star break Durant just lost the ball right there
