Devin Booker had never dropped 40 points in a game before Friday, but why not just go for 70?
On March 24, 1990 Tom Chambers set the Suns franchise record by scoring 60 points against the Seattle Supersonics. Exactly 27 years later on March 24, 2017 Booker broke that record by scoring 70 points.
Not only does Booker hold the Suns franchise scoring record, but he is also just the sixth player in NBA history to score 70-plus in a game. He joins Wilt Chamberlain (six times), Kobe Bryant, David Thompson, Elgin Baylor and David Robinson.
