The Phoenix Suns and their top trio, dubbed the Big Three, face a tough situation as they return home to Arizona.
Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and the Suns are down 2-0 in their Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves have been largely dominant, securing double-digit wins in the first two games.
Friday sees two more Game 3 matchups: the Bucks against the Pacers and the Clippers against Dallas. Both series are currently tied at 1-1.
Durant, who experienced a comeback from a 2-0 deficit with the 2012 Oklahoma City Thunder, acknowledges that there’s no easy advice to offer the Suns. He emphasizes the importance of execution over mere words and speeches.
The Suns had high hopes for this season, especially after acquiring Beal in a trade. However, Beal’s injuries early in the season disrupted their plans, leading to inconsistent performances from the team.
