PHX's lack of scoring diversity continues to be a problem. Durant and Booker have 55 of their 77pts. Beal, Nurkic and E Gordon have 5-6pts apiece for another 17pts of the remaining 22pts. Then O'Neale with that 1 three and Okogie with 1 bucket.
It is a two-man attack. Nurkic, E Gordon and Beal need to step up and give Durant and Booker some more help.
Minnesota have a much more balanced attack. Ant and Towns have 20 and 21 points respectively. But they also have McDaniels with 13, Gobert with 9. Then 3 more guys with 4, 5, 6 points. Their two low man scorers are Conley with only 1pt and Naz Reid with 2pts. And those two guys will probably have their say before things are done.
PHX's supporting cast have to help Durant and Booker if they are to have any chance of winning this. They were only ahead because Ant was struggling to much in the first half. He ain't no more. Momentum is all going Minnesota's way.
