Energy level night and day between the two teams. Michael Porter Jr already having bad body language after missing shots

Wait did Reggie Miller just say Ayton was a guy primarily known for his defense?

think about that. The one huge knock on him when he came out was he didn’t play defense at all. He’s worked his butt off to get better on that end

same with Booker. Booker isn’t lockdown but compared to what he used to be it’s night and day

How long before the Nugz realize they can’t get anything inside and will start bricking threes?

Suns interior defense has been strong.

Booker hits a crazy hard shot and then misses an easy one. Kind of funny

Crowder has been kicking Gordon's ass.

Three point shot is not there, but the Suns are playing such great defense that it doesn't matter so far. This is still surreal to me- Sun are a defensive team.

Suns going cold

It's happened multiple times but defense keeps them pretty even.

That's really the difference of the entire series. Nuggets go cold and they are down 20 quick. Suns go cold and they lose like 5
