How significant were Landry Shamet's (5-8) Three Pointers in Last Night's Game 4 vs Denver?

[BirdGangThing]

Not seeing the Shamshank Redemption being discussed much in the media this morning with Booker's performance and the whole Jokic/Ishbia incident.

We all know how much the Mr Shambourine Man has struggled offensively. But we only won the game by 5pts and without that 4th quarter from the Shamboni... I just don't know

So scale of 1-10

How much of an impact did the Sham-Wow have on the Suns victory?

I'm going with a 10 btw, especially with how unexpected it was and how demoralizing it left Denver

10. As were Warren's free throws to seal the game.

No win without them. Wherever that goes on the scale.

Shamet was amazing. A few of his looks were contested but most were wide the F open making the nugs pay for doubling Booker and or Durant. If Shamet or Ross or Warren or Okogie in some combination can make those wide open looks we are super tough to beat.

I think over time our guys can make those open shots. I look at it like blackjack when u double down at the correct time. Sometimes it doesn’t work but over time it’s definitely the right play. And once it starts hitting your money/points are gonna soar and life is good.

I feel towards the end of the 4th quarter the Nuggets had some momentum. We needed buckets from someone and Shamet answered the call. I was nervous we weren't going to be able hold the lead. Phew.

What was impressive is he did it on 8 shots because that's all anybody not name KD or Book will get. That's hard to do and hard to maintain but that's exactly what he has to get consistent at doing.

10 without a doubt, and he played real good D as well.

The Suns seem incapable of running away from teams once they’ve build leads around 9-10 points. We’ve let them back into games consistently and that would’ve happened again had Landry not gone off. 10/10 importance.
