Kevin Durant and Devin Booker can beat you on any given night. They’ve been that good.
It’s also not sustainable for a team trying to win an NBA title to rely so heavily on just two guys, regardless of how dominant they are or can be. Both things can be true at once.
That is why it is imperative for “the others” to step up if the Phoenix Suns want a shot at winning this series against Denver, let alone an NBA Championship.
The bench was virtually non-existent in the first two games of the series in Denver (excluding garbage time in the closing minutes), and it ended up being the difference between heading back to Phoenix down 0-2 instead of tied at one a piece.
