The Phoenix Suns scored a 117-111 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night, which was a reason for fans to celebrate.
They were also excited because the game featured Phoenix’s big three of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker back together again.
It was only the 24th time this season that the three players performed on the court together and Durant led them all with 37 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists, shooting 53.8% from the field and 50% from the three-point line.
Speaking on “Run It Back,” Shams Charania said that Durant is doing amazing work during his 16th season in the league.
“What [Durant] is doing this season is remarkable,” Charania said.

For the season, Durant is averaging 28.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game.
He’s been shooting 52.9% from the field and 42.5% from the three-point line.
During Monday’s game, Durant built upon the rhythm that he has found over the last few games without Booker.
But now that Durant, Booker, and Beal are all back together again, it’s time for the trio to get hard to work because the postseason is rapidly approaching.
They have played together and shown that they could be great as a unit but their amount of time working as a unit has been painfully limited.
Now fans of the Suns are ready to see what they can do fully healthy for the rest of the season and into the playoffs too.
The Suns have made some massive changes recently, starting with Durant joining the team last season.
The expectations for this team have since skyrocketed.
If they have a disappointing postseason, people will be supremely disappointed but Durant’s latest performances show he isn’t trying to let that happen.
