Denver scores 81 points in the first half and wins 125-100 to eliminate the Suns.
David Brandt Associated Press PHOENIX — Nikola Jokic scored 32 points in another triple-double, Jamal Murray added 26, and the Denver Nuggets advanced to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2020 by beating the short-handed Phoenix Suns 125-100 in Game 6 on Thursday night.
The top-seeded Nuggets used a 23-2 run during the latter part of the first quarter to take a 44-26 lead and never looked back. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope — averaging 9.5 points in the playoffs — scored 17 in the first quarter while Jokic added 14. Phoenix was eliminated in the Western Conference semifinals at home for a second straight season despite a blockbuster trade deadline deal for Durant, a 13-time All-Star and one of the game’s most prolific scorers. The 34-year-old had some good moments in the playoffs but made just 1 of his first 10 shots on Thursday as the Suns fell into a huge hole.
