Game Recap: Phoenix Suns outmatched by Nuggets in wire-to-wire 122-105 loss

Without Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Grayson Allen, the Suns never really stood a chance against the well-oiled machine that is the Denver Nuggets, falling 122-105. It wasn’t a sloppy effort — Phoenix only turned the ball over six times — but they were simply outclassed.

Denver drilled 46% of their threes and dominated inside, shooting 51% on two-pointers. Jamal Murray torched the Suns with 30 points (6-of-9 from deep), while Jokic flirted with a triple-double, posting 26-11-9.
