On the floor of Michigan State, the Suns won 105-97 against the Pistons, and Kevin Durant made Kevin Durant: 21 points on 8 of 12 shots in 19 minutes. A warm-up on a “fadeaway” baseline for his first basket of the match, and then, it unfolds with two dunks in transition, and 3-pointers at 45° on catch-and-shoot. In the middle of the 3rd quarter, it was the quadruple Olympic champion, on a ball released by Devin Booker, who gave Phoenix a 12-point lead (70-58).
Ryan Dunn see showcase
Alongside him, we will have noted the great activity of Bradley Beal (12 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 interceptions) and the rookie Ryan Dunn. Chosen in the first round, this winger showed great things as a two-way player. In defense, he muzzled Cade Cunningham well (1 out of 6 shots), and in attack, he scored 10 points at 3 out of 5 at 3-points. So see you again…
In Detroit, Jalen Duren (17 points) and Jaden Ivey (16 points) are the most prominent.
