How did Kevin Durant perform against the Memphis Grizzlies?
There have been a lot of reports regarding possible turmoil in Phoenix before Tuesday's game. Kevin Durant is at the helm of another superteam potentially imploding after his failed stint with the Brooklyn Nets. Durant had a fantastic start against the Memphis Grizzlies, scoring 14 points in the first half.
It was a different story in the third quarter, with KD being limited to just five points though the Suns were getting production across the lineup. Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen and Bol Bol were also doing everything they could to get the win, but the Grizzlies were battling shot-for-shot.
The fourth quarter came down the wire as both teams exchanged baskets, with Durant going scoreless. Allen gave the Suns a two-point lead after going 1-for-2 in his free throws with five seconds remaining. However, Ja Morant made a tough shot over Beal with 1.4 seconds left to send the game to overtime.
KD was determined to lead the Suns to victory, scoring six points in the extra five minutes. But the Grizzlies were just too much as Durant missed a game-tying 3-point attempt at the buzzer.
In addition to Kevin Durant's 26 points, Devin Booker had 28 points, three rebounds and 10 assists, while Bol Bol contributed 23 points, eight rebounds and two blocks. Bradley Beal, who is back to being a starter in the past few games, finished with 24 points, five rebounds, 11 assists and two steals.
Grayson Allen added 21 points off the bench, but all of it was not enough to prevent another loss. With less than two months left in the regular season, the Suns are running out of time to get it together and make the playoffs.
