[Saba Sports News] Earlier this week, Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns blew a big lead against the San Antonio Spurs. The Suns were up by 20 points in the second half at Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ. However, the Spurs made a furious fourth-quarter comeback, getting within three points with 48 seconds left. Devin Vassell missed a potential game-tying three-pointer, but Victor Wembanyama’s putback tied the game.
In a surprising move, the Suns inbounded the ball to Kevin Durant instead of calling a timeout. This led to a Spurs trap on KD, and Keldon Johnson made a go-ahead layup. Durant missed a last-second shot, resulting in a 115-114 Suns loss. Phoenix had led for almost the entire game, but San Antonio stole the victory at the last moment.
Notably, the Suns were missing both Devin Booker and Bradley Beal for the third consecutive game. Despite this, Durant and the team would surely like a chance to redo the closing moments of Tuesday’s game.
