In an exciting NBA matchup, the Phoenix Suns hosted the Denver Nuggets on April 12, 2024 Beijing time, and finally after a fierce battle, the Suns defeated the Nuggets 117-107 in overtime, ending the opponent's six-game winning streak. The absolute star of the game was undoubtedly Suns superstar Kevin Durant, who showed superstar style at key moments, especially scoring eight points in overtime to help the team seal the victory.
In regular time, the two sides played hard, and the score alternated between the scores, until the final moments, but the winner was still not decided. Entering overtime, Durant was on fire, hitting key jumpers in a row, while also performing well on the defensive end, effectively limiting the play of Nuggets core Nikola Jokic. Durant scored a total of 35 points throughout the game, including eight points in overtime, and added eight rebounds and five assists, fully demonstrating his decisive role in key moments.
For the Nuggets, although Jokic still had a steady output, contributing 25 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists to a quasi-triple-double, he had no choice but to encounter a tight defense in overtime, and it was difficult to regain the dominance of regular time. In addition, Murray also contributed 28 points to the Nuggets, but in the face of the Suns firepower led by Durant, he failed to prevent the opponent's counterattack.
After this game, the Suns relied on Durant's excellent play to not only end the Nuggets' winning streak, but also consolidate their position in the fierce Western competition.
In the next season, the Suns will continue to rely on Durant's leadership and fighting power to attack higher goals, while the Nuggets will need to adjust their condition and prepare for new challenges.
