After dismantling the Los Angeles Clippers in round 1, the Phoenix Suns are struggling hard to land a win against the Denver Nuggets. The top-seeding Nuggets displayed a dominating performance in the first two games by restricting the Suns by huge margins on both occasions. While the experts considered the Suns to be the favorites of this season, the team is visibly having a tough time despite having superstars like Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.

Following the games, even the NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal criticized KD for his underwhelming performance. However, KD and Co. put up a tough fight in Game 3 by leading the Nuggets with a steady 10 points after the first half and registered their first win of the series.
