Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets 1st QTR – PART 2 Highlights | Mar 5 | 2024 NBA Regular Season
Eric Gordon first minutes on the floor they dump it down to KD little turnar around quick release missed it oh two stars both struggling a little bit here early in the game yeah Durant Just Four Points o nope jic left it up there for Gordon well defended though
Allen wants it he’s got the hot hand right now and they keep feeding him Grayson Allen with his four three-pointer better job of maintaining contact with him Allen at 46 % from three-point range this year as Jin’s coming out of the timeout missed it bow Bowl first minutes on the floor
Pulls down the rebound you know Grayson Allen has a chance at the 50490 club 50% field goal 40% three-point 90% free throw only Steve Nash and Kevin Johnson have ever done that in Sun’s history pton Watson flying to the basket and he lays it in he is instant
Impact Off the Bench well and that’s what Michael Malone wants from Watson and Christian Brown that energy and he wants to get up and down the court a little bit more and a very large front line very tall front line for the Suns Michael Malone will often times
Like to get joic off the floor late in the first quarter but it depends on how the game’s going and you can tell this one not going his way thus far and yic stays is on Durant kicks it to the corner b gives it right back pton Watson
Did a very good job against Durant in the first meeting Durant got to the line and made all 13 of his free throws but was only eight of 25 from the floor gets his third bucket tonight right there Durant working away from the double team as well Brown was right there for help
Reggie Jackson he has been struggling for the Nuggets Off the Bench been dealing with a bad toe in injury that he’s playing through that is blocked by nurkic Durant wants to push it up ahead saving Lee drives and missed the layup now the nuggets on the Run Reggie Jackson catch and shoot set
Up beautifully by Murray and that might get Reggie Jackson going a little bit over the last 11 games only 7even for 32 from three-point range 22% nuggets don’t have many holes but their bench is one of them comes with a caveat though as Durant missed it Michael Malone plays his starters heavy
Minutes you get into the playoffs you don’t necessarily need as much from your bench there’s Murray for three got another one so the Nuggets raining them in now well these teams combined neither one of them shoot or make a lot of Threes but we’ve already had 10 threes
Made in this first quarter high volume Murray hits these two teams are going to match up again later in the month right here in Denver Durant being hounded and down to the ground goes Murray forces the steal Crown slams it home as the nuggets in transition they get the steel they get
The dunk and they lead it by three great Hustle by Jamal Murray to create that basket 80 Denver run here Eric Gordon drives Sab Lee looking for help late clock now down to five here’s Gordon with Murray on him Gordon finds some Open Spaces able to lay it
In chance at the last shot here for Denver murin yic two-man game and a foul I think Murray would have rather the whistle not be blocked with six first quarter points yic oh how
