Jamal Murray shot imaginary arrows into the crowd all night at Talking Stick Resort Arena Saturday night en route to his team’s 117-108 victory over the Phoenix Suns. The former Kentuckian, affectionately known as the Blue Arrow, outshot the Suns’ former Kentucky sharp-shooter, Devin Booker, on a night where the Suns simply couldn’t hang on to a lead.
While Booker had a below-his-average-but-still-pretty-good 21 points and nine assists on the night, Murray poured in 36 points on 14-17 shooting (6-8 from deep) to go along with five assists. It was just one of those nights where the opponent’s star was a star, a night that seems to happen a lot against the Phoenix Suns.
