The Nuggets have now lost two games in a row in this series and face their first serious bit of adversity in these playoffs. His clutch baskets in the fourth quarter were backbreakers for Denver’s rotating defense. The Suns also shot 13-of-29 from three-point range as a team (44.8%) including Landry Shamet’s 5-of-7 from three. Each scorer had it going at different points throughout the game, and the Nuggets defense simply had no answers for the dynamic duo. Jamal Murray had 28 points and seven assists, but he once again shot relatively inefficiently due to a lack of three-point makes.ĭevin Booker and Kevin Durant combined for 72 points on 25-of-37 shooting. Jokić added 11 assists and was a +2 in a game the Nuggets lost by five points. He was unbelievable the entire night and kept Denver in this game while the rest of the team struggled to contribute efficiently. Nikola Jokić did his absolute best, scoring a career high 53 points on 20-of-30 from the field. In a hard fought Game 4 that saw some incredible shooting performances, the Denver Nuggets ultimately came up short, losing 129-124 to the Phoenix Suns.
