Combining for 86 points tonight, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant tied Jerry West and Elgin Baylor for the 6th-most combined points by a pair of teammates in a single game NBA playoff history. They’re the 9th duo in league history to each score 39+ points in a single playoff game – 2:41 AM

Nikola Jokić postgame said the Nuggets know who they need to stop. He said Book and KD to him are the two best scorers in the league right now. Said Denver can send double teams and they can still make tough shots.

Kevin Durant has been asked a few dozen times at this point what he’s seen out of Devin Booker and again the common theme is how much of this he expected and learned about Booker.
In the latest version of the question, he starts his answer with, “YES.”
Emphasis on the period. – 1:44 AM

Phoenix basically has to go early and push the tempo/pace every single time down the court. If they don’t, Denver has figured out how to sag off of all of the non-Durant/Booker players. It’s why they need Ayton (or Landale) to give them literally anything on offense. – 12:11 AM

Losing a quarter by 17 is never ideal. Denver has the offense to stay with anyone but were out of sorts, and KD forced his way to the line in a way the Nuggets did not. Still plenty of time to pull it back, but stopping the shots at the rim is gonna be key to a comeback. – 11:26 PM

Durant checking out early allows for Monty to feel confident enough in a legit stagger here. He is wisely giving Booker a rest at the start of the second/fourth quarters for the first time since I believe the start of the Clippers series.

Going to be interesting to see how KD gets through this man. Whether it’s struggling from 3, not getting to the line, not finishing, the turnovers… Nuggets are making it hard on him.

More on this storyline
Rick Rubin: From the beginning of seeing the game till now, what has been the biggest changes you’ve seen? Phil Jackson: Well, the three point line change the game dramatically. Rick Rubin: When did that happen? Phil Jackson: The unification of the American basketball, ABA. The ABA in the NBA, when two leagues united the three-point line came with the ABA. And there was maybe six times it would be shot. Sometimes there was not a three-point shot taken. And then Houston had a team with guys who could shoot three pointers towards the end of Rick Barry’s career and Rudy Tomjanovich’s career, so they started exploiting it a little bit. And then it took off… but in the finals, even in the 90s, when we played Utah, they were the least three-point shooting team in the league, they took 13-14 a game. Now teams take 30… There was a good shot, it was a high percentage shot. They also had a terrific interior player named Malone, Karl Malone. So there was there was that part of it. -via Apple Podcasts / April 23, 2023
