Unsung heroes Bruce Brown, Aaron Gordon both X-Factors vs. Phoenix

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:24 GMT

Suns superstar Kevin Durant went left, just like Bruce Brown said he would.Midway through the fourth quarter of Denver’s Game 1 rout of Phoenix, Brown, a teammate of Durant’s in Brooklyn, was caught on an island against one of the most lethal scorers in the NBA. But Brown took contact, sat on his dribble, and picked his pocket clean. That transition chance was short-circuited when Chris Paul, perhaps out of frustration, shouldered Jamal Murray to the ground.Less than a minute later, Durant swerved left and Brown ripped him clean, again.“I knew he was going to do that,” said Brown, which is way more than most defenders can ever profess against Durant.Instead of giving the ball up after the second swipe, Brown hammered the transition dunk to effectively end the drama on Saturday night. Before the series even tipped, Brown talked about which direction Durant preferred to operate and knew he liked to settle into the mid-range. Against Durant, you take every advantage you can find.Beginn...
