The Phoenix Suns traded for Kevin Durant, who is arguably the best scorer of all time. They hope he will give him the push they need for their first-ever NBA championship.
Durant’s playoff debut in the Suns’ 115-110 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1 of the first round Sunday night was very impressive. He had 27 points on 7-of-15 (46.6 percent) shooting with 11 assists and nine rebounds.
But there is an argument to be made that Durant did not get the ball as much as his status as arguably the NBA’s best player right now deserves.
