The Western Conference Semifinals shifted locations on Friday night as the Phoenix Suns made the 602-mile flight to play the Denver Nuggets. Ball Arena was at capacity — 91% capacity — to cheer for their beloved team and newly minted MVP Nikola Jokic following his pregame trophy presentation.
The celebration wouldn’t last long for the Denver faithful.
Phoenix came out firing once again and downed the Nuggets 116-102 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead, led by the efforts of their 16-year point guard Chris Paul. The Suns have a chance to break out the brooms on Sunday after another dominating victory over the Nuggets.
