In a virtual wire-to-wire victory, the Phoenix Suns led by as much as 31 points in the fourth quarter to give the second-seeded Suns a 2-0 lead. Though Jokic created offense on his own to try and tow the Nuggets back into the game, the deficit proved too much as the Suns' hot shooting buried Denver. Three Suns finished with double-doubles paced by Paul, who had 17 points, 15 assists and no turnovers. Newly crowned MVP Jokic had 24 points to lead the Nuggets. The series shifts to Denver for Game Three on Friday (Saturday, Manila time) with the Suns in complete control.
