Kevin Durant - 23-point outing not enough Durant supplied 23 points (8-19 FG, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block in 37 minutes during Thursday's 125-100 loss to the Nuggets in Game 6 of the Western Conferen...
Impact Durant led an anemic Suns offense in this game, but his efforts were not enough to lead Phoenix to a decisive Game 7. Durant was healthy during the entire playoff run, and there's no question that was positive given all the injury woes that plagued him throughout the campaign, but he couldn't carry the Suns to a title, which was the main reason Phoenix acquired him before the trade deadline in the first place. Durant ends the playoffs with averages of 29.0 points, 8.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists across 42.3 minutes per game in 11 postseason appearances.

Impact Booker needed to deliver a strong performance if the Suns wanted to have a shot at forcing a decisive game 7, but instead, the star shooting guard responded with his worst outing of the current playoffs -- he ended the game with more field goal attempts (13) than points scored (12). Booker ends the playoffs in a disappointing fashion, but he still averaged a robust 33.7 points per game across 11 postseason contests.

Impact Payne started each of the Suns' last four playoff games, but this was the first time he scored in double digits. He wasn't able to replace Chris Paul (groin) effectively, and as a result, the Suns ended up losing the series in six games. Payne ends the playoffs with averages of 8.1 points and 2.9 assists per game across seven postseason outings (four starts).
