Kevin Durant is a lot of things on the basketball court but one that fits him perfectly is scoring machine. There is no denying that the Phoenix Suns forward is one of the greatest scorers in the history of the NBA, and he showed that again Tuesday night when he poured in 26 points on 12-for-19 […]

In what may have been the best game of the young NBA season so far, the Phoenix Suns suffered a stunning loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night, getting outscored 33-14 in the fourth quarter to fall 115-114. The loss was the result of a controversial play at the end of regulation, when […]

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs looked outclassed for the majority of their Tuesday night battle against Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns.

It’s always a treat when two of the best players on the floor, even if they don’t play the same position, end up being matched against each other.

It didn’t take long for Kevin Durant to team Victor Wembanyama a valuable lesson during the first NBA matchup.

[…]

On Tuesday evening, the Phoenix Suns will take on the San Antonio Spurs for what will be the team’s second home game of the year.

The collective fascination with Victor Wembanyama centers on his combination of size, sharpness and skills. The game’s greatest big men have often featured fantastic footwork with their size, or amazing athleticism for their frame, or supreme skills (shooting, passing) despite their length. However, at 7-foot-3 at least, none have combined the agility, ball handling and […]
