And it all reignited the conversation that dominated NBA circles in the wake of February’s deadline deal: should the Suns be favored to win it all?You could see the seamless fit right away: Durant’s incredible gravity on the offensive end opened up the lane for Devin Booker — who finished with a game-high 37 points on 57.7 percent shooting — and drew the defense’s attention away from weakside actions even when Durant wasn’t involved in the play.
