Guards: Denver’s reward for tackling one of the NBA’s best backcourts in the first-round? Only an even more devastating one-two punch in the second. Even at 36, Chris Paul is still getting it done.

And now that he’s got a punishing three-level scorer in Devin Booker to pair with, the Suns have a lethal guard tandem. All Booker did in his playoff debut was flirt with 30 points per game on nearly 43% shooting from 3, grab six rebounds and dish five assists.
