Kevin Durant Sends Out Plea To Phoenix Suns Fans After Game 2 Loss to Minnesota Timberwolves

After the game, Durant spoke to the media and explained how their Game 2 went for the Suns. In a post shared by Gerald Bourguet on X:

KD: “Can’t give up on us right now! S---, need it more than anything. I know it’s been a disappointing last couple games, even the season for our fans, but we need you more than ever now coming back home for Game 3,” Bourget tweeted.

For the past two games, Durant has averaged 24.5 points on 53 percent shooting from the field, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists. On the other hand, the Suns’ reserve unit has been underwhelming when it comes to generating offense for the team.

With the series shifting to the Suns’ home court, there’s a hope for them to finally get a win. But first, Durant and company will have to figure out how to defeat Edwards and the Timberwolves on both ends of the court.
