Much of the credit for Phoenix’s Game 4 win and the series returning to level, of course, belongs to Booker and Durant. (Photo by AAron Ontiveroz/The Denver Post) The series, now knotted at 2-2, heads back to Denver for Game 5. Nikola Jokic (15) of the Denver Nuggets loses a crucial jump ball to Deandre Ayton (22) of the Phoenix Suns, which maintained a thee-point lead by the Suns during the fourth quarter of Phoenix’s series-tying 129-124 win at Footprint Center in Phoenix on Sunday, May 7, 2023. From there, Phoenix salted the game away from the free-throw line. The Nuggets trailed by three and had the ball with 45.5 seconds to go after a successful Michael Malone challenge, but Jokic lost control of the ball and then lost a jump ball against DeAndre Ayton. Jokic scored 18 in the third quarter alone and made 20 of 30 from the floor overall, at times almost single-handedly keeping Denver’s hopes at a 3-1 series lead alive with a dizzying array of post moves, floaters, jumpers and put-backs.
He knocked down four 3-pointers in the final frame and finished with 19 points, helping the hosts stave off the best scoring outing of Jokic’s playoff career. “We did our job and they did their job, so I think at the end of it, it’s going to be an interesting Game 5.”Ī pivotal one, too, after Phoenix’s superstar duo carried the Suns for most of the night and then reserve guard Landry Shamet provided a late boost off the bench. “It’s an interesting series and hopefully we can protect our court like we’ve been doing all year,” Jokic said after scoring a career-high 53 points and adding 11 assists. This is where the Nuggets and Suns find themselves after Devin Booker and Kevin Durant dazzled for 36 points apiece and Phoenix outlasted Denver, 129-124, to level the series at two home wins apiece. From here: Best of three beginning Tuesday in Denver for a trip to the Western Conference Finals. PHOENIX – All of Nikola Jokic’s brilliance couldn’t out-shine the Suns in Game 4 here Sunday night.
