Phoenix cut the series deficit to 2-1 with a 121-114 win in Game 3 as Devin Booker exploded for 47 points and Kevin Durant added 39 points for the Suns, who recovered after blowing a 15-point halftime lead. Phoenix proved it can survive Chris Paul's absence at least temporarily and he is listed as out for this game. Denver has lost five of its past six road games and three of them were at Phoenix. The Nuggets obviously were lacking defensively and have to find a way to slow down Booker although Durant will pose another problem. Denver is 2-5 ATS its past seven conference semifinal games and 20-24 ATS overall on the road this season. Look for Phoenix to even the series and play the Suns as a Max Play.
