After 3 matches together, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker helped the Phoenix Suns attack become extremely difficult to block with a variety of attack options.

There is a feeling that the recent NBA is the stage of superstar duos. Many examples are available this season with Jayson Tatum - Jaylen Brown in Boston, LeBron James - Anthony Davis at the Lakers, Joel Embiid - James Harden in the 76ers shirt or Kawhi Leonard - Paul George of the LA Clippers.

Not to be missed Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, the new superstar duo formed at the Phoenix Suns after the NBA Trade Deadline transfer window last month.

Today, both showed their worth, especially Durant with the throw that brought the Arizona State team victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

Phoenix Suns' opponent also has a superstar duo of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, but that is not enough before the brilliance of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Both scored a total of 73 points, scored 27-42 FG (including 4-8 3PT) and added 15-17 FT.

KD's winning shot could not be ignored, engulfing the Dallas Mavericks. The match score is now 126-126 and the time on the shot-clock is only a few seconds.

Besides Booker and Durant, almost no one scored too prominently on the Phoenix Suns side. The exception is Chris Paul with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

On the other side of the front line, the Dallas Mavericks had a match as good as the opponent. It's just a pity that they can't "clutch" like Kevin Durant and the Phoenix team.

With the presence of Kevin Durant, the Phoenix Suns are changing very unpredictable in attack and causing the Dallas Mavericks to fall into a state of choice.

Not to mention that the Kevin - Devin duo working together, each person on the field is already a difficult problem for all defenders. If they focus too much on Durant and Booker, the outside pitchers will have space. But if only using the 1-on-1 option, Dallas could not prevent the opponent from scoring.

Today the Suns were comfortable letting Durant and Booker take charge of the attack. Sometimes the two take turns scoring, other times they create for outside teammates.

Phoenix's satellite array today has no less than 15 wide-open 3-pointers out of a total of 34 3PTA, 12 successful shots (12-34 3PT).
