Suns eclipse Nuggets, Rockets silence Thunder

The Suns made 16 three-pointers and never trailed after the first quarter in Denver. Durant said it wasn't a matter of making a statement, but of paying attention to detail in a demanding final playoff push. "I don't know if you're trying to show anybody anything," Durant said. "I think (we're) just trying to keep getting better... we're just trying to play good ball." Denver's two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic, playing with a sore back and hip, scored 22 points with nine rebounds and 10 assists.
