Kevin Durant and Devin Booker can prove the Phoenix Suns are still championship contenders

We’ve been talking about the dizzying roller coaster of a ride the sun season has been since October but in the last couple weeks the extreme turns Peaks and drops would have had even the biggest amusement park adrenaline junkie nauseated the Suns followed up their most inexplicable loss of the season in
