Landry Shamet came up big in Game 4 for the Phoenix Suns, with a career-high 19 points and three consecutive three-pointers that helped clinch a 129-124 win against the Denver Nuggets. The win evens up the series at 2-2, which showed that the Suns' bench, previously seen as a heavy liability, can contribute significantly to the game. Devin Booker also had a spectacular performance with 36 points and 12 assists, while Kevin Durant also added 36 points in the high-scoring game.

Coach Monty Williams was proud of Shamet's performance, with the Suns bench scoring 40 points in total compared to Denver's 11. Booker also displayed improved decision-making and trust in his teammates, resulting in more scoring opportunities and assists. The Nuggets lost despite Nikola Jokic's stellar performance with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists. However, the game got heated as Jokic had an altercation with Suns owner Mat Ishbia, with Ishiba flopping and drawing a technical on Jokic. There is a possibility that Jokic could be suspended in the upcoming games. The Suns have gained the momentum, winning two games on the brink, while the Nuggets will need to amp up their defense and urgency in the next games.
