On Friday night, despite losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder 128-103, Kevin Durant led the Phoenix Suns in scoring while visiting one of his former homes. The Suns defeated the Denver Nuggets, but their most recent game ended in a 128-103 rout. Josh Giddy led the squad in scoring 23 points, while OKC had seven players score in double figures.
On the other hand, Devin Booker missed 10 of his attempts at shooting the ball while Kevin Durant scored 26 points on 10 of his 17 attempts. Additionally, the Suns’ difficulties were caused by Bradley Beal and Grayson Allen’s ineffectiveness, which left them without enough players at critical points in the game.
With their hopes of making the playoffs in jeopardy, the Suns are still the seventh seed in the Western Conference. Kevin Durant was discussing the Suns’ uneven performance and was at a loss for words as he tried to describe specific nuances in their style.
KD said “We got 8 more games left. Hopefully, we get an opportunity to play in the postseason. Take it a game at a time.”

In addition, he has shot the ball at a 59% clip as defenses are continuously closing in on him.
