The Suns-Nuggets semifinal series gets underway Tuesday. Here's what Phoenix must do to steal that first game.
The No. 4-seeded Phoenix Suns and No. 1-seeded Denver Nuggets begin their Western Conference semifinal playoff series on Saturday in Denver . The Republic writers who have been covering the NBA playoffs offer their takes below on what Phoenix must do to steal Game 1:The Suns are going to need more than just Devin and Kevin to beat the Denver Nuggets.
Neither the Suns nor the Nuggets go especially deep into their bench. And neither team spent much time fooling around with their first-round opponent. The Suns are still learning how to play together, but they’ve got only one loss with Durant in the lineup. They got out of the first round leaning on Devin and Kevin, but it’ll take more than that for them to beat Denver.
In this postseason, Phoenix is the league’s most efficient mid-range shooting team averaging 49.6% on 11.6 made per game, ranked second with 11.6 shots made in the paint and fourth with 50.4% shooting in the non-restricted area. During the regular season, Phoenix finished second and third in those areas of the floor.
