It was a really exciting game between the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Sunsdove to succeed it was the Arizona franchise itself.

Budenholzer praises Kevin Durant: “He is the talent of a generation”
29 thousand points in his career, Kevin Durant engraves his name even more in NBA history: in 17 seasons he wore the shirts of Seattle, Oklahoma City, Golden State, Brooklyn and now Suns, averaging 27.3 points in 1064 games. If he managed to reach this goal, the credit goes to every coach and teammate he met along the way, as he reiterated at the end of the match:
“If I am here today to celebrate this great achievement, it is not only thanks to me, but also to all the people who have stood by me over the years: from the teammates who passed me the ball or made blocks to free me to the coaches who they designed tactics and schemes to make me perform at my best, it is also thanks to them that I am here today”

Among the people that Kevin Durant mentions in his acknowledgments is also Mike Budenholzercoach of the Phoenix Suns who can’t help but celebrate his star:
“It’s not me who has to tell you who he is and what he represents for this game: he is the talent of an entire generation and he fully deserves this tribute. I’m really lucky to be alongside him and have him as a player.”
After the victory over the Mavs, the Suns are now 2-1 and – on the night between Monday and Tuesday – will host the Los Angeles Lakers.
