While the Suns relied on their veteran point guard, the rest of the team did more than their weight. Four of Phoenix's starters scored 20 or more points, including Devin Booker and Mikal Bridges. Booker scored 21 points and Bridges had a playoff-best 23 points.
If Denver is to bounce back in Game 2, it will need to avoid a second-half collapse like the one in the series opener. The Nuggets led by one at halftime and built as much as a 10-point lead by the 8:13 mark of the third. Denver then lost control. The Suns outscored the Nuggets 25-7 in the final seven minutes of the quarter.
The Suns enter the second as 6-point favorites. The over/under is 222.
If you've been left on your own "bubble" - or hit by the dreaded local blackout - and you can't watch the Nuggets vs. Suns live stream on cable, you're not out of luck. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can pretend you're surfing the web from your hometown (or somewhere where the blackout won't hit) and access the same streaming service you've already paid for.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? After testing a variety of services, the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers great speed and excellent customer service. However, there are other VPN options out there. Here are our top picks.
