Phoenix Suns take final two video games over Jazz and Blazers.
Devin Booker stays sizzling, Kevin Durant is again and Tyus Jones stays aggressive.
And sure, that’s me and not using a hat.
The Suns hope three days between video games provides Bradley Beal time to return from proper knee swelling. #Suns pic.x.com/3dJJhtwjjn5:16 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Blazers sending two at Booker and Durant when they’re alone on the courtroom. Suns have too many succesful choices elsewhere + Blazers’ rotations off the doubles depart rather a lot to be desired.
Again to 1-on-1 protection for Durant and he drops the one-legged leaner. Robust. – 8:35 PM

For the 2nd straight sport with Nurkic again, Budenholzer has the rookie Ighodaro the primary to sub in for Nurkic.
Seeking to see if that continues.
Acquired Dunn in for Durant, Allen in for O’Neale.
So it’s Booker, Jones, Dunn, Allen and Ighodaro.
Ideas on that lineup? #Suns8:22 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Durant working midrange, 3-of-3, six factors
Tyus Jones aggressive, 3-of-3, six factors.
Chauncey Billups mentioned Suns “tailor made” for Jones, including he has the “humility” to play level, understands who his teammates are.
From one PG to a different. Timeout Blazers. Suns 18-10. #Suns8:20 PM
