Devin Booker and Kevin Durant remain undeterred despite the Phoenix Suns trailing 2-0 against the formidable Minnesota Timberwolves.

Following a disappointing 105-93 loss, questions arose about the Suns’ prospects for Game 3 on their home court in Arizona. However, Booker and Durant both exuded confidence in their team’s ability to turn the series around.

Booker asserted, “Don’t count us out. It’s a series for a reason. I don’t think any road team’s won so far. I know that doesn’t have anything to do with us, but it’s just the situation that it is.”

Kevin Durant and Co. Need to Step Up in Game 3

Meanwhile, Durant urged fans not to give up on the team, emphasizing the importance of their support in this critical moment.

Despite an outstanding effort in Game 1, where Durant scored 31 points and grabbed seven rebounds, his performance dipped in Game 2, contributing only eighteen points. The Suns also faced challenges, with Booker leading the team with 20 points.

As the Suns prepare for Game 3, Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker aim to improve their shooting performance, having collectively struggled in the previous games. Defensive pressure from the Timberwolves, notably McDaniels, has contributed to the Suns’ shooting slump.

In Game 1, the Suns faced difficulty containing Edwards’ scoring prowess, leading to the Timberwolves’ decisive 25-point victory. Recognizing his threat, the Suns employed defensive strategies to disrupt his rhythm, demonstrating their determination to counter the Timberwolves’ strengths.
