Can Landry Shamet carry the Phoenix Suns to a series win?

In Game 4 of the second-round series between the Phoenix Suns and the Denver Nuggets, Landry Shamet was the unexpected hero. With Devin Booker in foul trouble, Shamet stepped up by draining three consecutive three-pointers to help the Suns win the game and even the series at 2-2. Shamet's offensive display was critical for a Suns team that has faced challenges with Chris Paul out with a strained groin muscle. Shamet, who has played a bigger role in Paul's absence, showed great resilience and contributed 19 points in the Suns' 129-124 victory. However, if the Suns hope to advance past the Nuggets and secure a spot in the Western Conference Finals, they will need more contributions from players like Deandre Ayton, who has struggled on the court. Despite Ayton's subpar production in the past two games, the Suns have been able to rely on the impressive performances of Booker and Kevin Durant. As the series returns to Denver for Game 5, the Suns will need Shamet and Ayton to step up and carry the team to victory.
