Without Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal available for the Suns final pool play matchup in the NBA In-Season Tournament, a big game from Devin Booker was desperately needed.
And, of course, D-Book delivered.
Booker was the only player on the Suns that scored over 20 points, as he scored a season high 41.
This includes 10 points in the 4th quarter. Which, may typically not mean much, however, given the fact that in order to move on to the knockout round as a Wild Card team, the Suns were relying on gaining a point-differential advantage over the other 3-1 teams also fighting for a spot.
