Kevin Durant’s Bold Prediction For Game 2 Against Timberwolves

Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns were defeated 120-95 by the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday.

The Wolves now hold a 1-0 lead in their best-of-seven first round playoff series.

Durant finished the outing with 31 points and 7 rebounds, but not everyone on his squad carried their weight.

Devin Booker finished with 18 points on 16 shots and was largely a nonfactor on both sides of the court. Despite his dud of an outing, Durant came out with a bold prediction regarding his teammate ahead of Game 2.

“I think he’ll have a great Game 2,” Durant said of Booker.

Booker, for his part, admitted that he was off his game on Saturday.

“We all just need to adjust to the playoff physicality,” Booker said.

“They’re being ultra-physical with me, and then I had three early fouls and (went) to the bench. Then it was just trying to find a rhythm from there.”

The Suns need Booker to step up big against the Wolves in order for them to win this series, but Game 1 didn’t exactly evoke a ton of confidence.

Will Phoenix be able to steal Game 2 from the Timberwolves this week? An answer one way or the other is coming soon enough.
