On January 15th, Beijing time, the Atlanta Hawks faced off against the Phoenix Suns, with the Suns ultimately falling short in a 117-122 defeat. Suns forward Kevin Durant was in excellent form, his shooting hot as he repeatedly made mid-range shots, helping the team overcome a 12-point deficit to take the lead. However, in the final quarter, the Hawks capitalized on their superior offensive play to defeat the Suns. In this game, Durant's performance was comprehensive, scoring 31 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks, and also setting a new historical record, becoming the seventh player in NBA history to achieve this feat in 78 years. During the first half of the game, Durant's shooting was extremely hot. For example, when facing this year's number one draft pick, Lissa Xie, in the low post, he easily scored a 2+1 highlight goal. By halftime, Durant had already accumulated an impressive 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks. Despite this, the Suns remained behind on the court. Now at 36 years old, Durant still carries the heavy responsibility of the team on his shoulders alone. However, the team's recent situation has been less than ideal, with their ranking slipping from the top of the Western Conference to hovering around the 10th place in the play-in tournament. It is not difficult to see that this veteran is filled with unwillingness, determined to prove that he still possesses the ability to lead the Suns to victory! Sure enough, entering the third quarter, Durant's state exploded, unleashing a full offensive…
In the intense match against the Hawks, the Suns suffered a disappointing defeat with a score of 117-122. This was already a hard-fought loss that was difficult for the team to accept, but for the Suns' owner, the anger went beyond just the loss on the scoreboard. Behind this, there were four deep-seated problems that weighed heavily on him, making it unbearable. The Weakness of the Frontcourt Exposed, Becoming an Opponent's Breakthrough Point During the game, Durant and Booker shone as the twin stars. Durant had an efficient game with 13 out of 20 shots made, scoring 31 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and dishing out 4 assists; Booker also unleashed his firepower, making 12 out of 23 shots, including 7 out of 14 three-pointers, to score 35 points. However, despite such impressive statistics, they were unable to help the team win. The key issue lay in the Suns' weak frontcourt. Plumlee performed averagely on the court, contributing only 3 points and 5 rebounds, with numerous defensive lapses. This allowed the Hawks' Okongwu to dominate the paint, scoring 20 points and grabbing 20 rebounds for a super double-double. This contrast exposed the Suns' frontcourt weakness, which became the fatal flaw in their loss. The Backcourt Struggles, Bench Players Fall Short The Suns' starting guard Jones shot 3 out of 5 in the game, scoring 8 points and providing 6 assists, which seemed average at first glance. However, when compared to the Hawks' Trae Young, the gap became clear. Trae Young shot 13 out of 30 from the field, including 6 out…

Timberwolves-Magic The visiting Timberwolves started with a strong momentum, with Edwards and Randle taking turns to exert force, successfully occupying the advantage. Although the Magic, who played with a weakened lineup, fought hard and once approached the score, they ultimately failed to reverse the situation. As the game progressed, the Magic became more passive, completely falling into the opponent's rhythm, and could only helplessly watch the victory slip away. In the end, the Timberwolves easily defeated the Magic with a score of 104-89, winning three consecutive victories and rising to seventh in the West, just 0.5 games behind the top six. The team's chemistry is gradually improving, vowing to be the disruptor in the West. Warriors-Pistons After a brief adaptation period at the beginning of the game, the Warriors slowly found their rhythm. Although Curry had a poor shooting performance in this game, by the second quarter, Hield and the substitutes Walters and Santos rained down three-pointers, relying on this fierce offensive, they quickly widened the scoring gap. The Pistons fought hard to keep the game suspenseful, and…

This is the second meeting between the two teams this season. In the previous match, the Nuggets defeated the Hawks by a margin of 30 points, showing a clear advantage.
