In the final game of the Christmas Day slate the Phoenix Suns defeated the Denver Nuggets, 110-100. Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal led the way for the home side, scoring 27 points apiece to fend off NIkola Jokic's double-double performance and earn the win.
Afterwards, Durant lavished some high praise upon Jokic, declaring the Nuggets superstar "arguably the best player in the world" and a top-10 player in the history of the NBA.
