They both talented obviously, but the rest of the roster depth is glaring.

That being said, they will face immense pressure to win Game 6.Read: &quot;SUNS GET READY TO GO TO CANCUN&quot; - Denver Nuggets fans are thrilled as they inch closer to the Western Conference finalsKevin Durant and Devin Booker fail to carry the SunsThe Phoenix Suns practically shook the landscape of the league when they paired Kevin Durant with Devin Booker. With two of the most potent offensive players in the league, the Suns boasted unrealistic firepower. Unfortunately, this has also been their greatest flaw in the playoffs.KD and Booker are routinely expected to combine for ridiculous scoring nights to lead Phoenix to a win. Although this worked out for them in Game 3 and Game 4, the Suns were outplayed in Game 5.The superstar duo still managed to combine for a total of 54 points. However, the low efficiency definitely harmed Phoenix's offense. Additionally, other than Deandre Ayton, who had 14 points, the Suns didn't see any of the other players notch double-digit scoring.The poor defensive output and the underwhelming support on offense was put on full display in Game 5. While also factoring in the absence of Chris Paul at this point, Phoenix just seems to be riddled with problems.Durant and Booker will be forced to produce another miracle at home to keep their hopes alive. But unless they can win on the road, the Suns may see an end to their postseason aspirations.
